3.24.16: Riddick is an athletic middle infielder. He has very smooth actions at second base with soft hands and good range. He has an average arm at best but has a quick release and is an accurate thrower. At the plate, Riddick hits from the right side from an athletic stance. He has a slight load back with a stride on line towards the mound. He has a good lower half with decent balance throughout his swing. He is short the ball with above average bat speed and decent extension. Riddick has a gap to gap approach with a line drive stroke that will generate some doubles and consistent hard contact.
