With the 2017 Underclass Preview Showcase coming up on October 18th at Grand Park in Westfield, IN, throughout the next several weeks we are going to highlight some of the top uncommitted 2017 prospects in the Hoosier State.  

Player Name: Mac Hippenhammer
Primary Position: MIF
High School: Ft. Wayne Snider
Grad Year: 2017

Notes:  Hippenhammer is a 6-foot, 165 pound athlete with plus speed.  A the Top Prospect Games in June he ran a 6.55-60 and followed it up with another 6.55 at the Future Games workout at the end of July. Hippenhammer again showed off his speed vs. Team Maryland on Day 3 of the Future Games running a 3.54 down the line on a bunt single. In the field he shows solid actions with quick feet and soft hands.  At the plate he still needs to clean some things up mechanically, but consistently shows quick hands and bat speed.  His highest recorded exit velocity is 89 mph from the right side and 85 from the left side.
