Tippett debuted as a professional with the GCL Twins in 2006, going 3–5 with 10 saves and a 2.53 ERA.

Despite playing on a sub-.500 team, Brad managed to lead the Gulf Coast League in saves.

He was 7–1 with 3 saves and a 0.93 ERA in 21 games for 2007 with the Elizabethton Twins, helping them to an Appalachian League title.
