Wick’s fastball is what got him to the majors. The former catcher sits 94-96 and can dial it up if need be. He lives in the top of the zone where his high spin rate creates rising action, blowing past hitters while beautifully setting him his vaunted knucklecurve. Elite on occasion, Wick did struggle with the command of his fastball in 2019, walking 12.4% of opposing batters with it.
