Scouting Report
Hitting
Brad Shippee is quick twitch athlete who runs fast; and has been a consistent hitter throughout his young career, spraying line drives all around the diamond. His approach is the best part of his game, as he consistently gets himself into hitter’ counts and doesn’t mind a walk. He could produce some astounding offensive totals in a potent lineup. Already physically mature, softball scouts wonder how much more room he has to grow. Shippee has respectable power and is especially adept at staying inside the ball and driving it hard down the line, particularly on inside pitches. He’s much more of a line-drive hitter than a home run hitter, and many of his hits come on hard liners through the infield or into the gaps.
