It doesn’t seem like it, but Jordan Hicks debuted for the St. Louis Cardinals three years ago. After making the jump from A ball to the MLB to begin the 2018 season, he quickly established himself as one of the best fireballers in the MLB.
Sadly though, Hicks was injured in the middle of the 2019 season, ending his year early with Tommy John surgery.
