Former New York Yankees flop Aaron Hicks continues his resurgence with the Orioles

Since joining the Orioles, Aaron Hicks has been on a roll. The former Yankees flop has been batting well and generally looks to be in great form. This is a complete 360 from when he was a Yankee. Furthermore, his confidence has returned from his play or his freshly grown beard. Most recently, he smashed a go-ahead home run in the 6th inning against the Seattle Mariners. It helped the Orioles take a 4-3 lead and eventually win the game 6-4. The Baltimore-based team shared a video of the smash hit on Twitter.

The Yankees need some batting depth

Ironically enough, the Yankees are currently starved for batting depth. With Aaron Judge missing time with his toe injury, the Bombers? lineup struggles to score runs. Most recently, they won a game 1-0, wholly depending on their bullpen to limit the opposition. With Aaron Hicks performing so well, the team might regret letting him go. It will be interesting to see how long the former Yankees flop can continue his current form.?
