The Pittsburgh Pirates selected Cole Tucker in the first round of the 2014 MLB Draft. The rookie made his Big League debut back in April, but has also spent time in Triple-A Indianapolis. Unfortunately, he hasn’t come onto the scene as hot as other rookie shortstops Fernando Tatis Jr. and Bo Bichette, or even fellow Bucco Kevin Newman. But that is ok. The 23-year-old still has plenty of time in this current rebuild to develop into the player Pittsburgh needs him to be.
We’ve learned a lot about Tucker this year.
