5-foot-9, 195-pound, RHP filled the zone w/ his 2-pitch mix.  Short, physical frame w/ lot of present strength, close to mature build.  Pitches from a full wind-up into H ¾ release from the middle of the rubber.  Compact, repeatable delivery w/ slight pause at balance point for deception.  Glove action helps create deception, draw the eyes.  Angle.  Straight FB w/ occasional arm-side run.  Medium downer CB w/ proper shape and rotation.  Gets slurve like at times when he gets around it.  Commands the CB, 10 of 12 for strikes and kept down in the zone.  More control than command w/ the FB, but flashes ability to pitch to both corners.  Generated 6 swing and misses on 21 swings.

5-foot-9, 188-pound, RHH hits from the same balanced and even stance, uses a shorter stride to load, lower half does clear and keep him balanced throughout, swing plane is consistent and flat to slightly up through contact, line drive approach.  Defensively, showed sure hands and good footwork, plays through the ball smoothly and with confidence, doesn't rush and remains under control, arm action is short, throws are accurate, added footspeed could add a lot to his game.


6/14/17 - Max FB: 81, FB: 79-81, CB: 66-68, CH: 69-70, 
5-foot-9, 188-pound, RHP has a strong frame with a stout build and uses a very controlled motion that remains balanced throughout his delivery.  Tucker stays connected and seems to be very consistent on the mound.  He gets collected at the top and uses an in-line stride and a simple arm action to deliver pitches through an arm slot that is almost over-the-top.  Fastball is mostly straight be is located well and his curveball showed 11/5 shape for strikes.

2/12/17 - 60 Time: 7.65, Position Velocity:  IF-78, Exit Velocity: 75

1/16/17 - Max FB: 80, FB: 79-80, CB: 65-67, CH: 71-74,
5-foot-9, 185-pound, RHP has a strong and steady build with some solid athleticism, uses good rhythm throughout his delivery that creates some repeatable tempo, higher leg lift brings his hands up and shoulders stay even during his in line stride toward the plate and release,  uses a short arm action through a near over-the-top slot, finishes out front and balanced.  Fastball is straight but heavy through the zone, curveball is solid with 12/6 shape and is thrown for strikes, changeup showed run and was also thrown for strikes.

1/16/17 - 60 Time: 7.93, Position Velocity:  IF-74, Exit Velocity: 85
5-foot-9, 185-pound, RHH hits from a balanced and even stance with his hands relaxed away from his body, uses a quick and very abbreviated leg kick and short stride with a subtle movement back of his hands to get loaded, lower half stays wide and strong and fires his hips through very well, bat path is flat to slightly up through the zone and combines with his raw strength to get through the ball solidly, can drive the ball to center.  Defensively, showed good hands and footwork in the infield, could have played through the ball more aggressively but did stay under control, exchange is pretty clean and leads to a short arm action through a high ¾ slot.
