If that is the complete output it seems that your stick is
unformatted. There are no partitions nor a disklabel....

For example one of mine:

Disk /dev/sdb: 29.1 GiB, 31221153792 bytes, 60978816 sectors
Units: sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes
Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
Disklabel type: dos
Disk identifier: 0x1dcdb45e

Device     Boot    Start      End  Sectors  Size Id Type
/dev/sdb1  *        2048 29362175 29360128   14G  b W95 FAT32
/dev/sdb2       29362176 31459327  2097152    1G  b W95 FAT32
/dev/sdb3       31459328 60977151 29517824 14.1G 83 Linux
