Aaron Hicks is a 2008 OF/P with a 6'1'', 160 lb. frame from Long Beach, CA who attends Wilson HS. He has a greyhound body with lean, long features and tons of projection. Quite simply, Hicks has all the tools. He's a 6.45 runner who has both a long, easy stride in the outfield and a quick first step stealing bases. Hicks' arm strength is almost silly; we don't believe he was completely healthy at the showcase with stiffness behind his shoulder but he still threw 97 mph from the outfield (!!) and 95 from the mound with an 83 mph curveball. Hicks is a switch-hitter who looks to be pretty balanced as far as bat speed and approach is concerned from both sides of the plate. He's an aggressive hitter who takes a full cut at the ball and shows plus bat speed. If anything, Hicks might have to cut down his length/aggressiveness in his swing. There is no "hit the ball on the ground and run" to Hicks' approach, he's trying to crush the ball and has the tools to do it. It's a testament to Hicks' tools and ceiling as an outfielder that his 95/83 mph pitching ability is an afterthought. He's a first round type talent on both sides of the ball and that doesn't happen too often. A true 5-tool player. Selected to 2007 Aflac All-American team.
PG Grade 10.0

Aaron Hicks is a 2008 OF/P with a 6'1'', 165 lb. frame from Long Beach CA, who attends Wilson HS. Aaron has a lean athletic build and has the ability to be one of the nation's top prospects in the outfield or on the mound. At the plate Aaron is a switch-hitter that is very impressive from both sides. From the right side Aaron has a very good clean swing with good balance. He shows very good bat speed and the ball really jump off his bat. Aaron is wirey strong and his power projects very well. From the left side Aaron shows some serious bat speed with very good leverage in his swing. He is a legit swith-hitter that might be a little better from the right side of the plate at this point. His outfield tools are already above major league average right now. His graceful and athletic in the outfield and seems to do everything well. With his huge arm strength he could play any outfield position. On the mound Aaron dominates hitters with a fast loose arm action that works very well. He is a low effort pitcher with a smooth delivery and he gets a nice downhill plane. He has a very good straight change-up and a nice power 11 to 5 curveball. Aaron has a good feel for how to pitch and should overmatch high school hitters. Aaron is a highest level prospect that rates at the top of the 2008 class.
