One of the louder rounds of BP on the day came from OF Lucas Hicks (Westmont). Standing 5-foot-10, 185-pounds, Hicks has a strong build with evenly distributed strength throughout. The right-handed hitter led the event in exit velocity, reaching up to 96.1 mph with a line-drive approach to the whole field. His BLAST numbers were some of the best in-event as well; with a max hand-speed of 23.8, max bat-speed of 78.8 and average rotational acceleration of 16.3. He’s a steady defender in the outfield, moving with fluid footwork and soft hands through the ball (T84 mph OF).
Positional Profile: OF/RHP
Body: 5-10, 185-pounds. Well-proportioned frame with present strength.
Hit: RHH. Tall open setup, strides back to even. Flat to the ball with bat-speed, line-drive approach, on the barrel, uses the whole field.
Power: 96 max exit velocity, averaged 87.5 mph. 306’ max distance.
Arm: RH. OF - 84 mph. Short arm action, high 3/4 slot, loose arm and accurate.
Defense: Soft hands, quick feet, clean exchange.
Run: 7.19 runner in the 60.
