He was booed during pregame introductions, booed again during his first at-bat which ended with a popout, and booed again during a tribute video in between the first and second inning.
He has hit .263 with a .854 OPS in 26 games, plugging an open outfield spot when Cedric Mullins was injured and then playing so well that manager Brandon Hyde couldn’t eliminate him from the lineup.
“I just think that opportunities and injuries and stuff like that kinda happened, and I kinda went down a struggling road in which I really couldn’t get myself out of it,” Hicks said. “I feel like when I started to have kinda success, I wasn’t really given an opportunity, and now that I’m over here, I’m getting a lot of opportunities and I’ve been trying to make the most of it.
