DePauw University

Ryan Sipe earned four letters and graduated as DePauw’s all-time batting leader, with a .389 average; he also holds school records for runs scored (156), base hits (236), doubles (51) and total bases (343). A second baseman, Sipe was named to the all-region third team in 2003, the first team in 2004 and the second team as a senior. He was named three times to the All-Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference first team, after earning honorable mention in his first season. He later was one of three second basemen named to the SCAC’s all-decade team in 2005 and DePauw’s only selection. In 2004, Sipe broke the school’s single-season records for runs scored (53) and total bases (115); he held those marks until 2017. His .435 batting average in 2004 is still the third-best in a DePauw season. He led the team to a school-record 28 wins in 2004; that record was broken the next season with 29 and, as a senior, Sipe reached base in 38 straight games. He collected at least one base hit in 73 of 85 games during his final two seasons and had at least two hits in 68 games.

Following graduation, he was an account executive with Just Marketing Inc. until 2008, when he moved to a positon with National Wine & Spirits Inc. He joined Southern Glazer’s
Wine and Spirits of America in 2010 and currently serves as vice president and general manager with Coastal Pacific Wine and Spirits. Sipe and his wife, Brooke, reside in suburban Philadelphia.
