Uncommitted. Hicks was one of the more impressive pure hitters from this week. He showed a controlled, consistent, and centered load that produced easy barrels with nearly every swing. His advanced feel for the barrel along with his great discipline and knowledge of the zone make him a threat every time he steps up to the plate. Hicks went 3-3 on Friday with all 3 hits being 90+ exit velocities. Excited to see the hitter Hicks turns into as he adds more power to his already impressive hit tool.
