Jordan Wicks

Jordan Wicks is exactly the kind of crafty left-hander I enjoy watching develop. He is not the guy who blows you away with triple-digit velocity; instead his calling card is that wicked changeup, a pitch scouts raved about coming out of Kansas State. As a Cubs first-rounder, he carries real expectations, and his debut showed flashes of a pitcher who knows how to sequence and outthink hitters rather than just overpower them. Health and consistency are the open questions, but if the changeup keeps fooling big-league bats, he has the profile of a dependable mid-rotation starter.

Jordan Wicks (born 1999) is an American professional baseball pitcher who played college baseball at Kansas State University. A left-handed starting pitcher, he was selected by the Chicago Cubs in the first round of the Major League Baseball Draft and made his MLB debut with the team. He is known for his changeup as a signature pitch.
