The 2022 season has been a disappointment for Cole Tucker.
Gaining an opportunity with the Pittsburgh Pirates to see more consistent at-bats, Tucker has struggled mightily in 13 games at the plate and also seen trouble in the field.
Known more for his speed and defense coming up to the Major Leagues, the 2014 first-round pick has committed two errors in 23 innings at shortstop. Tucker has been better in the outfield despite his middle-infield background.
Tucker’s sample size at the plate is even more worrisome for his future with the big league club.
