Rupp was a high school teammate of Tino Martinez. He was selected by the San Diego Padres in the 16th round of the 1989 Amateur Draft after starring at the University of Tampa. The first basemen spent two years in the Padres minor league system. He hit .242/~.332/.372 for the 1989 Spokane Indians. In 1990, he batted .249/.336/.349 with the Waterloo Diamonds, striking out 120 times in 358 AB. His 13 times hit by pitch tied him for second in the Midwest League.
