‘Intriguing Option’ Kyle Tucker Would Be Impact Bat Cubs Need

Kyle Tucker might be the perfect combination of value and impact, a near unicorn surpassed only by Röki Sasaki in this year’s class when it comes to the type of player the Cubs covet. Largely overlooked in favor of two or more of his Astros teammates, the soon-to-be 28-year-old outfielder has been one of the best hitters in MLB since he became a regular in 2020. Over the last five seasons, Tucker ranks among the top 13 qualified hitters in ISO (.346, 13th), wOBA (.373, 13th), wRC+ (143, 10th), and fWAR (20.9, 13th). That’s good.
