ESPN Scouts Inc.: "He will sit 90-93 mph and has touched 96 with riding life on it, a pitch that appears to explode in on hitters late. His lack of a breaking ball is a real concern -- his curveball is well below-average, lacking depth and easily visible out of his hand, while his slider is flat thanks to his low three-quarters arm slot."
Matt Garrioch, Minor League Ball: "Up to 97, sits 92-94. Slider is swing and miss pitch but can hang. Burch Smith comp."
Eric Sondheimer, Los Angeles Times: "Bickford has been clocked at 97 mph. But it's his ability to throw strikes while throwing so hard that makes him very valuable. Growing up, he used to practice hitting a target low and away 10 consecutive times before he could move on."
