Jordan McKinley Hicks is an American professional baseball pitcher who currently plays for the St. Louis Cardinals in Major League Baseball. Hicks was born on September 6, 1996, in the United States.
The Cardinals selected him in the third round of the 2015 Major League Baseball draft, and he made his debut in Major League Baseball with the Cardinals in 2018.
It has been recorded that he can throw the ball as fast as 105 miles per hour (169 kilometres per hour), making him one of the big league’s most powerful hurlers.
Before going to Cypress Creek High School in Houston, Texas, for his senior year, Hicks had his secondary education at Klein Oak High School, which is located in Klein, Texas.
He will be playing collegiate baseball for Tulane University, where he has signed a contract. Hicks is one of the most powerful pitchers in the major leagues, throwing as fast as 105 miles per hour.
His pitch velocity was erratic at the outset of his professional baseball career, and he had several mechanical concerns. Hicks resolved to throw as hard as he could during an All-Star game, reaching 100 miles per hour twice.
His velocity and overall mechanics began to improve, and when the 2017 season finished, he kept throwing in the Arizona Fall League, where he consistently threw 100 mph or more.
