Tevin
Tucker

Tucker had a major impact on the game with his loudest tool, his speed, setting the tone quickly. He beat out an infield single in the first and then stole second on a first move break, beating the throw from the first baseman easily. Then stole third on the next pitch without a throw and scored on a groundout. Again his speed came into play in his next at-bat as a he put down a routine sacrifice bunt and beat it out. Approach has been adjusted to allow his speed to work, but there is whip in his bat with some power upside. At short, lateral range is outstanding, arm strength in the game was just average, but arm still has a chance to be stronger. Lanky frame still has a lot of projection left to it.

Tevin Tucker has the kind of tools that make him a very projectable player going forward. During pre-game in and out showed ability to cover ground well with great lateral movement on balls both ways from short. Very fluid and loose exchange fielding to throwing and throws have some carry across the diamond. During game showed good extinct and reaction to get around the ball and play through it. He hits from slightly open up-right stance, good rhythmic load that allows his hands to be explosive to hitting zone. He also has good speed that makes him a threat to take extra bases, definitely a fiery player that brings a lot of energy day in and day out.

Solid and smooth on the day was Tucker. Showing nice rhythm at the plate and a smooth stroke with strong and quick hands working through the zone and getting consistent barrel during his BP session. Defensively its athletic as he glides around the diamond moving around effortlessly with sound fundamentals. I have always thought that Tuckers best years are in front of him and that he could make a huge rise down the road and nothing deterred my thoughts after this event. Keep an eye on Tucker at WVU.
