Kaden Wickersham: RHP/OF, (2021) Southmoore, OK. 6-foot-2, 172-pound lean and long frame. On the mound, the right-hander works from an average tempo and athletic delivery with quality leg drive to the dish finishing slightly to the first base side. Arm action is moderate and quick in the back before coming through a high-3/4 slot with arm speed. Produced a fastball that came in at 85-87 mph with late arm-side life. Changeup (80-81 mph) shows some fade. Slider is thrown with full arm side speed with late cutting action at (79-82 mph).

A lean and projectable 6-foot-2, 165-pound frame. On the mound, the right-hander works from a deliberate delivery with a controlled high leg kick before driving down the mound and finishing balanced. Arm action is long, loose, fluid and quick in the back before coming through a high-¾ slot with well above average arm speed. Fastball sits 82-85 mph (mostly 85s) with consistent run and sink, some strikes. Curveball is still developing, spinning out at times at 69-70 mph, flashing 11/5 shape. In the game, Wickersham got into his rhythm after a few batters and got weak contact out of the last few hitters he faced.

Showcased a lean and projectable 6-foot-2, 165-pound frame with obvious athleticism and comfortability in his body. The right-handed hitter begins with a wide, even stance utilizing a lift-and-replace stride to initiate his swing. A slightly uphill barrel path is whipped through the zone while hitting into a stiff front side, creating natural lift. Demonstrated advanced feel for the barrel during batting practice while notching an 85 mph bat-exit velocity from the tee. Recorded a 7.21 60-yard dash. The primary outfielder flashed adequate footwork while arriving to the ball on time. Played with a low center of gravity allowing for momentum towards the target and accurate 90 mph arm-strength with carry out of a high-effort, high ¾ arm-slot.
