NEW YORK — Allowing the New York Yankees to steal five bases in their home opener against Miami extended a troubling trend for Marlins catcher Liam Hicks.
He has yet to catch a runner in the first nine attempts against him this season after going just 6 for 57 in his rookie year. At 6 for 66 in his career, Hicks’ success rate of 10% ranks among the worst at the position.
