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).
