Looking At Hicklen

Hicklen was picked in the 7th round of the 2017 MLB Draft.
He has spent part of four seasons at the MLB level with the Kansas City Royals, Milwaukee Brewers, Detroit Tigers (and Braves).
Hicklen wrote (on December 27, 2025) via Instagram: “Dream come true! My childhood team was always to play for the Braves! My entire life, I wanted to be like Chipper and always would wear #10. Going into year 10, it is such a blessing to be able to play this game that has given me so much. I never imagined being able to do this for as long as I have… BUT God continues to open doors and bless me beyond what I deserve, in both the peaks and the valleys.”
