Ripke offers a well-rounded set of skills, and he performed well on Sunday from both sides of the ball. He took a fundamentally sound round of infield defense, gaining ground efficiently to both his forehand and backhand, maintaining rhythm within his footwork on approach. Ripke also generated carry across the diamond, aided by his smooth glove-to-hand transfers. From the right-handed batter’s box, he made a firm front leg plant with well-timed rhythm, and created a connected attack with more vertical orientation. He notably kept his barrel tracking through impact, chasing the flight of the ball with his release. Ripke is a solidly built 5-foot-11, 170-pound prospect to keep an eye on in his junior spring.
