His 3/4 to side arm delivery kinda scares me, but I am very ignorant when it comes to mechanics.I'm in with both picks. Here what I like about Bickford:
In 86IP he had 166 Ks, 21 BBs. 1.45 ERA.
He has a TON of movement on his fastball. The secondary stuff isn't there yet, but this fastball is legit. Delivery looks pretty clean, repeatable.
Here's a game when he was in High School. 7IP, 18Ks, 1H.
Here a write up about him:

Think Randy Johnson, a model of optimal mechanics.His 3/4 to side arm delivery kinda scares me, but I am very ignorant when it comes to mechanics.
