Uncommitted Spotlight: OF/RHP Ethan Kick


PBR Alabama Staff

With the summer coming to a close and we begin to transition to the fall with a brand-new school year, our focus is still on uncommitted prospects in the Classes of 2023 and 2024. As these prospects enter their final two years of high school, there are still many talented upperclassmen still on the market that may have been "overlooked" or are currently "flying under the radar" and looking for a place to play at the next level. 

Continuing the Uncommitted Spotlight series that was featured at the beginning of the summer, we continue to take a look and spotlight an uncommitted prospect every Tuesday and Thursday. Be sure to click the Uncommitted Spotlight tab on the menu tab to see previous spotlights as we move throughout the fall.
