    Nickens is a 6-foot-3, 190-pound corner outfielder who spent three seasons at Houston before breaking out at Austin Peay in 2025. He batted .422/.520/.768 with 18 home runs, 24 doubles and nearly twice as many walks as strikeouts over 59 games. A righthanded hitter with thunderous power, Nickens posted a 93.4 mph average exit velocity, 89% in-zone contact rate and just a 19.3% chase rate. He’ll need to elevate the ball more consistently to his pull side, but the raw tools are tantalizing.
