    A 6-foot-4, 170-pound righthander out of Pinole Valley, Calif., Pipkin is a projection arm who's been up to 96 mph and was one of the hardest throwers at the Area Code Games last summer. With a frame that can add significantly more weight, there is a lot of upside to be had and he might be able to increase his sitting fastball velocity--which tends to be in the low 90s--in the future. He's shown flashes of an above-average breaking ball and changeup, though those pitches still need some work. His curveball is in the mid-70s with some impressive depth but tends to break early at times, while Pipkin's changeup comes across in the low 80s. Pipkin operates with a slow delivery and a slight pause in his leg lift and throws from a three-quarter arm slot.
