Early look at Red Sox prospect All-Stars: Catcher

Nathan Hickey (Portland, A)

Hickey has played at two different levels in 2023 - starting at Greenville, and after 18 stellar games, getting called up to Portland. and now in Portland. On the season, Hickey has hit a combined .294, while hitting seven home runs, and driving in 20 runs.

While Hickey is only getting his feet wet in Portland, those are definitely some impressive numbers for someone who has played at two different levels throughout the season and kept it going. Whether he shows signs of slowing down remains to be seen.

Hickey may not see his name get called when picking rosters for the Sirius XM All-Star Futures Game, but he's definitely a name to keep an eye on moving forward - especially if he's the type of catcher who can hit for average, as well as for power.
