Houston Astros Draft Targets: Outfielder Kyle Tucker

Preston Tucker has risen quickly through the Houston Astros minor league ranks to earn his first stint with the Astros. While his initial stats didn’t justify it, his approach to the game made the Astros give him another chance. They sent down Robbie Grossman instead Tucker when activating George Springer. The Astros see what type of player Preston can be, so of course they are interested in his younger brother Kyle Tucker out of Plant High in Tampa Florida. Unlike Preston, Kyle is expected to be drafted directly out of high school.
