Scouting report
There's no change here: Hicklen needs to perform on paper this year. Even though he's 25, 2019 was only his second full year focusing solely on baseball, as he'd been a two-sport athlete of sorts at UAB, where he would have played football had the program been active while he was there. His statistical performance, despite his age, becomes much more impressive in this context. Hicklen has hit .280/.370/.470 as a pro. All of that has been in A-ball, save for the 2019 Fall League, during which he struggled. His swing is very short and linear and he generates sizable power anyway, but his bat path doesn't really allow it to play. Barring a very late jump in skills and instincts, he's a bench outfielder sort. (Fall Instructional League)
