    The 5-foot-10, 190-pound catcher from Columbia (Mo.) College has some athleticism with solid hands and throwing ability, but scouts aren’t sure the bat will translate from NAIA competition to the next level. Piper hit .418/.553/.915 with 17 home runs, 16 doubles and two triples in 48 games for the Cougars this season. At 23 years old, he might have limited time to secure his spot in pro ball, but the ingredients are there.
