Jared Dickey is off to a hot starter after the Oakland A's acquired him from the Kansas City Royals
When the Oakland A's traded right-handed reliever Lucas Erceg to the Kansas City Royals earlier this week, they received a pretty solid return given that Erceg is still under team control for five more seasons. One of the pieces of that return was outfielder Jared Dickey, who is off to a hot start in High-A Lansing.
Since joining the Lansing Lugnuts, Dickey is 9-for-17 with a .556 OBP, a double and three RBI in four games, improving on what was already a solid month of July . The one key factor here is that he does make a decent amount of contact, which is a skill set the A's have been targeting more and more with recent additions. 2023 first rounder Jacob Wilson is the ultimate high-contact guy, and 2024 first rounder Nick Kurtz is also known for limiting his strikeouts.
That profile seems to be working just fine in Oakland at the moment. Since Andujar made his season debut on May 24, the A's offense ranks ninth in baseball with a 107 wRC+ .
