At this point in his Yankees and MLB career, Aaron Hicks should be a constant. He’s signed through 2025, is entering his sixth year with the team and ninth in the bigs, and is right at the tail end of his prime at age 31. In some ways, Hicks has been that steady presence for the Yankees – since becoming a starter in 2017, his OPS has never dipped below .769 but never exceeded .847, he’s posted an OPS+ greater than 120 three times, and he’s been a mainstay in center field.
At least, that’s what has happened when Hicks has actually been on the field.
