Jordan Hicks expresses optimism about his performance this spring training, noting a significant increase in his pitching velocity. Despite a rocky outing against the San Diego Padres, where he allowed three runs, Hicks recorded triple-digit fastball speeds and showcased a firmer splitter. He mentioned feeling stronger than the previous year and displayed confidence in his ability to pitch well under pressure. The increase in velocity, especially of his splitter, reflects his ongoing development and preparation for the upcoming season, indicating positive growth as a player.
Hicks said, "That's 60 pitches right there and I felt like I could've kept going and it's only my third start..."
Hicks added, "I think it's a little firmer, and that comes with everything else, Hicks said. Added velo on the fastball is going to add my splitter."
