According to a report in the Awhatukee Foothills News, TCU has added a JUCO commit to its 2013 class in Jordan Kipper, currently a sophomore at Central Arizona Community college. Jordan was a teammate of Kevin Cron at Mountain Pointe High School when they won the Arizona State Championship.
Jordan is a top level RHP who has been drafted twice already, in the 2011 Draft (39th Round) by the Dodgers and the 2012 Draft (30th Round) by the Phillies. He is viewed as a top flight projectable arm, 6'4" 200lbs. who has added a lot of velocity over the last three years. He throws from a high 3/4 arm slot and gets a lot of movement on his FB, CU and CH.
Jordan is the 11th commit for TCU's 2013 class, the sixth committed specifically as a pitcher.
Jordan had an outstanding freshman campaign with CACC, recording a solid 9-3 record through 15 appearances.
