While Hicks is widely recognized for his prowess on the baseball diamond, his affinity for golf is equally remarkable.
Renowned as one of the best golfers among baseball players, Hicks has demonstrated a rare talent that transcends his primary sport. His passion for golf is palpable, with aspirations to emulate the legendary Tiger Woods and eventually compete on the PGA tour.
Although Hicks is an avid golfer, he realizes his bread and butter is in the baseball diamond. As a vital addition to the Angels’ roster, he is expected to deliver stellar performances both at the plate, driving those coveted home runs and in the outfield, with exceptional defensive prowess.
Coming off a successful stint with the Baltimore Orioles, where he showcased his s𝓀𝒾𝓁𝓁s, Hicks now aims to replicate that success in Anaheim.
With his golfing detour behind him, the Angels and their devoted fans eagerly anticipate Hicks’ return to the diamond, where his talents as a power hitter and outfield stalwart will be instrumental in the team’s pursuit of a great season.
Hicks is now entirely focused on baseball and will be tasked to make this team a formidable one.
