Hickey looks bulkier than I remembered from seeing him in Portland.
If he really fills out, he could hit his ceiling as a LHH Mike Napoli.

The 6-foot-1, 190-pound hurler struck out three of the 10 batters he faced and induced six swings-and-misses on the 42 pitches (27 strikes) he threw. He averaged 93.4 mph and topped out at 94.3 mph with his four-seam fastball while mixing in a high-80s changeup, a low-80s slider and curveball, and a high-80s sinker, per Baseball Savant.
In making his WooSox debut on Sunday, Kwiatkowski joined fellow righty Brian Van Belle as the only other undrafted free agent signed by the Red Sox in 2020 to make it as far as Triple-A. Of the 16 undrafted free agents Boston signed in the wake of the COVID-shortened draft that summer, Kwiatkowski, Van Belle, and Juan Montero (a catcher with Low-A Salem) are all who still remain in the organization.
