The Outlook: Wickman, son of ex-big leaguer Bob Wickman is one of the more naturally tooled out prospects in the state. He's a loose quick twitch athlete that also shows a big arm from the outfield (87 mph). His arm action works well enough to be a possible prospect on the mound as well, following in his dad's footsteps.

Plays thru the ball with online actions. Throws showed carry throwing 83 mph from the outfield. At the plate hits from a balanced setup with a short stride and good balance. Line drive pull hitter with fluid rhythm and explosive bat speed. Showed strength thru contact with 84 mph exit velocity from a tee. 4.43 runner down the line. In game showed off pull side power with double to left field.
