Wik is an American import from the Houston Astros organisation who played with the Adelaide Bite during the 2015-16 ABL season. Wik spent 2015, playing for the Astros' Advanced A affiliate, the Lancaster JetHawks in the California League.
The photo for Wik's card is from the 2015-16 ABL playoff game in Canberra last Saturday that was suspended by a freak hailstorm. The game only lasted 7 pitches before large hailstones started pelting the ground and everyone went scampering for cover.
After the hail ceased many of the players had fun playing as the groundstaff worked out how to get several hundred kilos (500+ pounds) of hail off the ground. In the photo for Wik'scard you can just tell that it's still raining in the photo. Wik has a hand full of the large hailstones and is throwing them at other Bite players
If you're interested, the hailstorm can be seen in the following video just after the 15 minute mark.
