Biography:
One of the top pitching prospects in the Diamondbacks organization, Nippert is in Triple-A for some fine tuning and some waiting. You'll get better odds on Nippert seeing time on the big league roster this year than you'll get on the sun coming up tomorrow. The only thing that has stood in the big right handers way thus far has been injury, but after a dominant season at Double-A last year, just nine months removed from Tommy John surgery, he's poised to establish himself. Control problems have haunted him this year, but when he regains his arm slot (he will), he's a legit front of the rotation starter.
