Description

The Houston Astros are at a pivotal moment in their offseason, with a revamped roster featuring a mix of experienced players and promising prospects. One standout prospect is James Hicks, a 13th-round draft pick who has rapidly ascended to Double-A. Currently shining in the Arizona Fall League, Hicks has delivered impressive performances, including four scoreless innings with six strikeouts in his latest outing. His exceptional play has him in elite company, with only thirteen pitchers since 2016 achieving at least eleven scoreless innings. As the Astros weigh their options for trades and signings, Hicks' emergence adds an exciting layer to their offseason decisions.
