With plenty of eyes on him this afternoon, Ricken, the LSU commit, delivered a dominant performance, throwing two scoreless innings while allowing just one walk and striking out six. He had exceptional command, effectively locating his fastball in all four quadrants of the zone. The fastball had life where he sat 92-94mph and topped at 95. His slider that sat at 83-84mph had late bite, working side to side and was a true swing-and-miss pitch, showing advanced feel and consistency. At the plate, Ricken added an RBI double, further showcasing his offensive ability. With his strong, physical presence and ability to hit to all fields, he continues to prove his value as a two-way talent. Ricken remains a highly regarded MLB Draft prospect for 2025 with significant potential.
