2022 15th Round Pick (#437): James Hicks - P - (JR) U South Carolina (SC)

JuCo transfer who had Tommy John in March. Hopefully he is ready for the second half of next year.

Fastball jumped from touching 87-88 to 93-94 in JuCo between his freshman year in 2020 and his sophomore year in 2021, which got him to South Carolina.

Was pretty good at Crowder College, a solid JUCO in Missouri. Only ever pitched 7 innings at South Carolina. I feel like the O's are pretty good at identifying these under the radar types.

No idea what's going on with him he tweeted about the draft pick, but he's been the least talked about guy drafted.

Coming off TJ, this may have been a flier, but the kid may want to consider that he might not be able to to pitch until the end of his Senior year next year. He might want to get that professional rehab under his belt though with the Orioles rehab process, he might not pitch again until late 2023 season.

[ScGO's]

I guess Hicks is the last guy we are waiting on an answer from?

His twitter says he' s returning to SC.
