Fricks has an athletic frame at 5-foot-7, 145-pounds with plenty of twitch. The sub-7 runner and left-handed hitter, Fricks uses a coiled up, low-hanging leg kick and twitchy hands to generate a smooth, leveraged hack that flashes power to the pull side. Barrel stays in the zone a long time, posted an 89 exit velocity. On the infield, he has quick footwork that allows him to play on the run and cover a ton of ground. Can make the run through play and threw with a top velocity of 83 mph across the diamond.

 

 

7.23.18
Fricks is a fast-twitch, athletic, left-handed hitting shortstop that stands 5-foot-7, 145-pounds. H starts from an open, tall stance then loads back smooth and early as he coils his hips and triggers his hands in a high position. Glide and stride weight transfer as he keeps his front foot low to the ground. Aggressive hack, he uses his entire body to generate solid bat speed with an exit velocity of 90 mph. Natural lift, line drive approach with loose hands produced hard contact during BP. The barrel awareness carried over into the game where he squared the ball up every time at the plate, singling through the right side, and lining out to third, grounding out to third, and stealing a bag. Fricks plays fast, and that carries over to his defense, where he covers ground with his 6.91 60-yard dash. He has smooth footwork, soft hands, and a quick release into his throwing motion with a top velocity of 84 mph across the diamond.

He worked through the ball, fielding the ball consistently on the left side of his body and showed the ability to change arm angles with accuracy.
