Career

Major League Baseball

The Arizona Diamondbacks selected Nippert in the 15th round of the 2002 Major League Baseball draft. He made his major league debut against the Pittsburgh Pirates on September 8, {{mlby|2005}} with the same organization that drafted him. On March 28, {{mlby|2008}}, he was traded to the Texas Rangers for Jose Marte.{{cn|date=October 2017}}

On June 29, 2008, Nippert threw a seven-inning no-hitter for Triple-A Oklahoma City RedHawks against the Omaha Royals.{{cn|date=October 2017}}

The 2009 season is best on record for Nippert in his major league career, when he compiled a 5-3 record with an ERA of 3.88 in 69.2 innings for the Rangers. During the next year, he was able to shake off a scary incident on July 19, 2010 when he was hit on the side of the head by a line drive hit by Austin Jackson against the Detroit Tigers. The ball was hit so hard that it ricocheted off of his head and past third base into left field. Nippert walked off the field smiling to a standing ovation in Detroit but was placed on the 15-day DL after the game.

Korea Baseball Organization

On March 3, 2011, Nippert signed with the Doosan Bears of the Korea Baseball Organization,^[2] after an attempt to sign with a Japanese baseball team had failed.^[3] Due to his solid performances in a Doosan uniform, the team's fans have christened him "Ninunim" (Korean: 니느님), with the name being a combination of his last name and the Korean word for God "Hanunim" (하느님).^[4] In the 2015 KBO Post-season, he pitched 26⅔ scoreless innings during the Bears run to the fourth Korean Series championship in the team's history. On November 14, 2016, he won KBO League Most Valuable Player Award, becoming the fourth foreign player to be awarded in the 34-year history of the league.^[5]

On January 23, 2017, Nippert re-signed with the Doosan Bears for another year, earning $2.1 million per year, which is the highest annual income ever of a foreign player in the Korean Baseball Organization.^[6] Nippert pitched to a 14-8 record with a 4.06 ERA during the regular season, and started Game 1 of the 2017 Korean Series.^[7]
