2026 review

Liam Hicks made contact and got on base all year, hitting .284/.367/.434 over 554 PA in 479 AB with 18 HR, 66 R and 82 RBI split between MIA and TBR. His 9.9 K% and 10.1 BB% over 554 PA included a strikeout rate that was the 9th lowest of 267 hitters with 300+ PA, though his 27.1 HardHit% over 432 BBE was the 14th lowest of the same 267-hitter pool. He missed 10 regular-season days on the 10-day IL from Jun 20 to Jun 30 for a low back strain, then was traded from MIA to TBR on Aug 3. Drafted at NFBC ADP rank 940, he finished 84th of 1472 overall in the TDK LABS 5x5 value rank, 856 spots above, and 5th of 103 catchers. His .352 wOBA ran 33 points above his .319 xwOBA over 554 PA. Against right-handers he hit .309/.392/.491 over 436 PA, against lefties .190/.271/.229 over 119 PA, and his best month was Aug at .338 over 74 AB against .224 over 98 AB in May. The TDK LABS card had him riding elite contact quality back in early May, still noting the back strain in late Jun, then tracking a hot streak by late Aug and calling the whole season an overperforming breakout by late Sep.
