Jim Kipper   Shortstop | Retired or Inactive Players Hitting Kipper never has been a patient hitter. He has a natural lift to his swing, which produces few groundballs. The Retired or Inactive Players do tend to sit Kipper when the opposing team throws a lefty. It's no secret he can't touch the left-handed breaking ball. Baserunning & Defense Kipper is an intelligent baserunner with average speed, but he's not a basestealing threat. When you play Kipper you're not putting him in for his glove. His arm is accurate enough. 2025 Outlook Kipper has below average skills, even for the low minors. One has to expect the Retired or Inactive Players will give him his walking papers before the end of the season.           -- Ska Nyman, A-Ball Scout
