9-30-14 - 9-30-14 – Through The Fence - 24. Oakland Athletics — Kyle Tucker, OF, Plant HS (FL) - A 6’-4” left-handed hitter who doesn’t miss the baseball often and has as much raw power as anyone in the 2015 MLB draft, Tucker is the younger brother of Astros’ prospect Preston Tucker. Over 51 career games, he has hit 18 home runs and has struck out just seven times. His bat is his calling card, but he is a good athlete with a strong enough arm to hold down a corner outfield spot. Committed to Florida. http://throughthefencebaseball.com/2015-mlb-draft-mock-1-0/44039

Kyle Tucker, OF, Plant HS (FL)
A 6’-4” left-handed hitter with tremendous power and an advanced approach at the plate, he also has bloodlines as his brother is Houston Astros prospect Preston Tucker. Kyle has shown an incredible ability to swing for the fences while hardly missing a pitch. Over the last two years, he has hit 18 home runs and has struck out just seven times over 51 games. His size suggests even more power will come as he matures, and he has great instincts in the outfield. He hit .556/.706/1.185 with nine home runs as a sophomore and hit .425/.537/.925 with nine home runs as a junior. Committed to Florida. http://throughthefencebaseball.com/2015-mlb-draft-armour-aa-game-preview-part-1/43804#O6zgsDyBeLLBfCWU.99
