Jordan Hicks was apparently drawing oohs and ahs on the back fields yesterday. Brian Walton said he had never seen a cardinals pitcher dial it up 100 and 101 as many times as Hicks did yesterday (That includes Reyes, Alcantara, and Fernandez). On top of that he was mixing in a devistating low 80s curveball.
Pitching just keeps chugging along for this org. Now if only we could develop some power hitters.

Re: Hicks Impresses on Back Fields
I had Hicks pretty high in my rankings. This pleases me that he's continuing his momentum.

Also, that velocity is up from when I saw him. This kid is going to make my ranking look tame next year if he keeps progressing.

Re: Hicks Impresses on Back Fields
I tried to find some video of Hicks, but all I saw was stuff from last year which isn't that great. Anyone have anything?
