07/19/2010 - College PREP - Carrollton (DFW), TX TJ is a young catcher with an average frame that shows projection as he continues to physically mature. Feet are active in working in line with target, gaining ground with pop times showing a range of 2.56-2.60 through a long transfer / exchange. He will benefit by getting on a long toss program to provide more carry and lowering pop times. Receiving and blocking skills are below average, needing further development to be quality tools at the next level. Offensively, Shipp shows a balanced approach and makes consistent contact ball but has some mechanical flaws that are hindering him from reaching his full potential with grades improving with instruction and adjustments. With 2 years to further develop, TJ has abilities with a lot of room and time to improve.
