2022 MLB Draft: Undrafted last summer as a third-year sophomore, the Auburn reliever first opened my eyes during the Corvallis Super Regional when his fastball topped at 95 and he pitched at 90-92 against the Beavers. His low-spin (950-1050 rpm) splitter has over a foot of vertical depth at times, but it’s his upper-70s big-breaking curveball that gives him left-on-left Major League value. The pitch is deadly to left-handed batters, easily dismissing them back to the bench. Skipper struck out 70 in 58.2 innings this season, including eight strikeouts in six innings in Omaha. His stuff hasn’t changed much from Week One of the season to the end of the CWS, but his ability to get outs in bunches during a postseason closely watched by club decision makers, makes for a nice ride up the draft board.
Super Regionals vs Oregon State: Fourth-year junior left hander with FB up to 96 and big breaking upper 70s curve ball. Middle reliever for Auburn is extremely tough on LHHs and has struck out 62 in 53 IP.
