Spring Training isn’t known to be a place where statistics and gaudy numbers mean much, but for the Braves’ Preston Tucker it’s clear to see that this spring has just a little more meaning.
Tucker was a star player for the Florida Gators when he attended the university back from 2009-2012. He set school records for hits, RBI and at-bats while finishing only second in school history in home runs hit with 57 before entering the draft in 2012.
The Astros were in on Tucker from the start and managed to nab him in the seventh round.
