Line drive approach with impressive bat speed. Has been getting stronger and hitting the ball harder over the last year and that progression is likely to continue as a pro Grade: 45
Power: A swing change and a growth spurt prior to the the brief 2020 Arizona high school and showcase season have allowed for more power potential than originally thought. Hits balls hard and can control his bat well. On track to provide a 15-20 homer bat. Grade: 45
Field: Quick feet. Good hands and good range. Smooth transitions. Strong playmaking ability. Not likely to outgrow the position and will be able stick at shortstop. Grade: 50

Run: Tucker has improved his run times over the last year. Went from average to plus and even clocked some borderline double plus times, Will be someone to watch on the basepaths going forward. Grade: 60
Overall: Tucker has improved immensely over the last year. His body transformation along with increased power and speed catapulted him to the number 24 overall slot in the 2020 draft. He displays confidence and swagger on the field and is comfortable no matter the situation. Looks like a guy who was born to play baseball. Profiles as an average big league defender who can get on base at a high clip, be an asset on the basepaths, and hit an occasional long ball.
