Hicks Gets Award for Relief Work Friday, September 26th, 2042 Stephen Hicks was a calming influence out of the Athletic Club KC U-21 bullpen this season.
His teammates and manager said he had a poised demeanor about him that was typical of someone much older and more experienced. His poise has paid off, as the 20-year-old turned in a sparkling season and has been named the winner of the M3L Rookie Reliever of the Year Award for 2042.
The Troy, Michigan native won the award with 15 saves in 54 relief appearances, 142 strikeouts in 91.1 innings and a record of 6-2 to go with his 1.87 ERA.
