Tucker was injured that day, and was not as thrilled with his performance as he would have liked, but showed a large frame and raw tools to be an intriguing prospects to follow over the past two season. He has been a staple for the Conway Wampus Cats at third base and out of the bullpen. The Wampus Cats have had tremendous success the past two season making back to back apperances in the State Finals.
