26-Year-Old CatcherC
Miami Marlins
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Hicks was part of the rotation at turnstile, sorry, catcher with the Marlins in 2025. The Marlins catchers (and pitchers) allowed 191 successful stolen bases in 2025 nabbing just 24 potential thefts, and Hicks was as guilty as the rest catching 6 of 57 attempts. He is an interesting sort at the plate beause he is extremely disciplined with all his studying of the strike zone behind the plate as he has delivered a double-digit walk percentage every season of his professional career and has more walks (209) than strikeouts (203) in his professional career. He also has 19 home runs in nearly 1400 plate appearances with a .269 batting average. He qualifies at both catcher and first base, but lacks the power fantasy managers desire from either position and will obviously hurt you much less at catcher where his skills should still allow him to hit for an above-average batting average from the catching position. Hicks cannot hurt you as a second catcher in a deep league, but he also is not going to help you much. Read Past Outlooks
Signed a one-year contract with the Marlins in March of 2025.

September 1, 2025
Hicks is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Nationals.
Analysis
The Nationals are sending lefty Andrew Alvarez to the hill for the series opener, so Hicks will head to the bench along with another lefty-hitting lineup regular in Troy Johnston. Hicks closed August with a .267/.359/.344 slash line, one home run, eight RBI and 14 runs over 28 games.
