Since eighth grade, Hickman has been earmarked as a top-level prospect. Despite the considerable hype surrounding him, Hickman has flourished. Blessed with an incredibly projectable frame, Hickman possesses a top-level arm behind the plate – as he has proved at nearly every national event over the last two years. Hickman’s body-type and arm strength alone have put him on every pro scout radar. Hickman, who has been a starter at Simeon since his freshman year, has a fundamentally sound swing at the plate. The Chicago Public League hasn't seen a prospect as promising as Hickman in a long time. With an athletic frame and overall excellent athleticism, Hickman has the tools to be a premier catching prospect in the country. Hickman possesses a plus arm behind the dish and has quick hands and raw ability at the plate. ... Older brother Christian, a 2009 grad, is a shortstop at Southern University.
