Pitching
His fastball gets into the high 80s, but it's the sink that makes the pitch effective. He changes speeds well enough to keep righthanders from teeing off on him.
Defense & Hitting
Stickland does an average job of holding runners. He isn't especially quick off the mound but generally fields his position adequately. Stickland is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Stickland has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Stickland as a pinch-runner on occasion.
2025 Outlook
AA isn't the right place for Stickland. Expect the Retired or Inactive Players to send him down for some minor retooling. I just don't know if The Retired or Inactive Players are ever going to get what they expect out of him.
