Dikos is an intriguing two-way with some traits that project on both sides. He showed above average tools as a position player with a 6.93 60-yard dash, exits at 94+ from a twitchy RH swing, and an 85 mph OF arm that translated to the bump. The 6-foot-1, 175 pounder pitched at 83-85 on a well-located fastball, and poured strikes with a low-to-mid 70s CB. The strike-throwing nature and projectable frame point at a higher ceiling on the bump, but there are also present traits to like offensively.
