Baseball is a game of opportunities if you have the determination and grit to grab them. This is becoming true for experienced campaigner Aaron Hicks. Hicks had a poor start to the season and faced an exit from the New York Yankees because of poor performances. Even though it was disheartening for him, Hicks did not give up, and now he is a star of the Baltimore Orioles.
Hicks not only performed continuously but has broken the presumptions around his career. The 33-year-old played another solid game of the season since his return as Aaron 2.0. The fans loved his performance, and reacting to his latest striking, they shared another round of applause for their new star.
A pole is not strong enough to stop Aaron Hicks now!

The announcer said, “It’s high in the air, right down the line. It is off the pole.” He added, “Hicks’ first home run is in Oreo at Camden Yards and his second overall, the fourth long ball of the night, for the birds.” Notably, this was the second home for Aaron Hicks of the season since joining the Orioles. He finished the game with an average of 0.500 and an OPS of 1.850 with a contribution of two runs and an RBI apart from the home run.
Also, with these performances, the saying, “Where there’s a will, there’s a way.” has become true for Hicks. He has surpassed his previous self in just 11 games and has scored ten runs at an average of 0.364 and an OPS of 1.154. Hicks is just one hit short of his time at the Yankees as he continues to break his records for them.
Fans have had some more reactions to share on his performance.
