Another former Thunder Bay Border Cats pitcher is headed to an MLB organization.

Mathew Tippie has been signed by the New York Yankees following the 2025 MLB Draft.

He is the third Cats’ pitcher from the 2023 season to be picked up by an MLB team this year, joining Riely Hunsaker and Peyton Fosher.

The 22-year-old appeared in five games with the Cats.

He is scheduled to report to the Yankees’ minor league complex in Tampa, Florida this week.

A total of 401 former Northwoods League players have reached the Major Leagues, including 15 Border Cats alumni.
