Well, lemme tell ya ’bout this fella named Billy Amick. He’s a young man, but he sure has made a name for himself. Born on November 4, 2002, Billy is a professional baseball player now, playin’ for the Minnesota Twins. He ain’t just some regular fella, though. His daddy, Lyndon Amick, was a big NASCAR driver, so you know the family’s got some wheels, if ya catch my drift!
Now, Billy’s been around the game a good bit. He started off in school, playin’ baseball at Clemson University after goin’ to P27 Academy in South Carolina. Reckon he had some big dreams even back then. In his first year, back in 2022, he didn’t get much playin’ time, only showin’ up in nine games, but he sure did make a try. He got 19 chances to bat, though he only hit .105. Not too grand, but like they say, ya gotta start somewhere!
But that was just the start, mind ya. Come 2023, things got a whole lot better. Billy played in 46 games that year, and I reckon he learned a thing or two from all that time on the field. People startin’ to see his potential. And, wouldn’t ya know it, come 2024, this young fella got drafted in the second round by the Minnesota Twins, all the way at number 60 overall. Ain’t that somethin’!
And, if ya think he was just a baseball player, let me tell ya there’s more to Billy Amick. He’s a good-lookin’ boy, and he sure knows how to get the crowd goin’. I heard his walk-up song is “The Stroke” by Billy Squier, and when that song plays, the crowd starts clappin’ their hands over their heads, followin’ the beat. They love it! That kinda energy can’t be faked, and I reckon it’s one of the things that really got the fans excited.
But before all this big-league stuff, Billy was a regular college kid, just doin’ his best. When he went to Clemson, he majored in Parks, Recreation, and Tourism Management. Now, I’m not sure exactly what all that means, but it sure sounds like somethin’ important! Guess he wanted to make sure he had a good foundation if baseball didn’t work out for him, which is smart if you ask me.
Now, Billy’s makin’ his way through the minors, playin’ with the Fort Myers Mighty Mussels. He signed with the Twins in July of 2024, and he’s probably got a big future ahead of him. He’s workin’ hard to climb the ranks, and I’m sure his daddy, Lyndon, is watchin’ with a big ol’ grin on his face, proud as a peacock. I reckon Billy’s got a good head on his shoulders, and if he keeps workin’ hard, who knows where he’ll be in a few years. Major leagues, maybe?
Fun Facts:
- Billy’s daddy, Lyndon Amick, was a NASCAR driver – fast cars run in the family!
- He’s been playin’ baseball since he was young, and it’s clear that he’s got a real knack for it.
- Fans love his walk-up song, “The Stroke” by Billy Squier. They clap their hands to the beat every time he steps up to bat!

- Before all this, Billy was studyin’ Parks, Recreation, and Tourism at Clemson. He’s got a backup plan, too!
So, that’s Billy Amick for ya. A young fella with a whole lotta promise, a love for baseball, and a family that’s real proud of him. I reckon we’ll be seein’ more of him in the future, and I’m lookin’ forward to it. Whether he’s hittin’ home runs or just livin’ his dream, Billy’s got a long road ahead, and I wish him all the best.
