Kyle Tucker is a 6'4", 175 pound outfielder out of Plant High School (Florida) who some consider to be the best hitter in the class. Tucker is obviously known for his hitting, getting comparisons to Cooperstown greats Wade Boggs and Ted Williams, and his swing definitely shows a resemblance, but of course that doesn't mean that he is going to put up numbers like them. My grading of Tucker's (future) tools are 70 hit, 60 power, 55 run, 45 field, and 60 arm, and I had him ranked 6th on my top 50 prospect list, but I plan on moving him up for my next update. Tucker should hit at any level, both for average and power to all fields, but he will likely have to move to a corner outfield spot. Tucker is committed to the Florida Gators, where his brother Preston played, and if he fell past the Twins I wouldn't be surprised if he chooses to attend college, due to the Gators strong team and recruiting class. Tucker has had one of the best springs of any prep player in this year's class, adding another bonus, but some teams wonder if he will fill out, which would add to his power, but I think that he could add at least 25 pounds to his frame. The Twins would love to have Tucker fall to them, but his brother's Astros pick twice before the Twins, and they are known to be looking at high school outfielders, but if he does fall the Twins would likely take him, unless someone like Dillon Tate was still available, and according to Darren Wolfson they are scheduled to have a private workout with him, but teams usually have workouts with several players leading up to the draft.
