If you follow me on here it should come as no surprise how big of a @Bhickmanbasebal fan I am. He checks important boxes. Athlete, strike thrower and has got some outlier traits. FB is unique and he’s living low 90s with it now. Also throwing the SW harder as well. Trending 📈.View quoted post on X
Strong Benton Hickman (‘25, AZ) look from last Friday. 5 shutout innings, giving up 1H and K’d 4. Worked fast and pounded zone (67% strikes). High usage w/ the FB where nothing was below 90, topping out 94 (2). Mixed in a couple 79-81 SLs (~2400) and one accidental cut CH @ 82. #Arizona commit. #PGHS @PG_Scouting @Brophy_BaseballView quoted post on X
Light scrimmage work here from Benton Hickman (‘25, AZ). Up to 92 in this look w/ the FB. Landed a few of his SWs in the mid-upper 70s and mixed in some developing low 80s CHs. One of the more intriguing pitching prospects in the state because of the low release traits to his athletic operation along with his ability to spin it. #Arizona commit. @Brophy_BaseballView quoted post on X
Hard to say where RHP Benton Hickman (Litchfield Park, Az.) fits in this draft yet, but he's one of the more unique prep arms in recent years. Ran a 32% whiff rate on the FB across four events despite mostly living 87-90.
Ultra-low slot + holds some carry. Bit of a unicorn.View quoted post on X
