Jacsen
Tucker

Uncommitted. Currently ranked No. 10 in the state. Ultra-projectable 6-foot-3, 175-pound frame, high-waisted with a lean and trim build, plenty of room to pack on strength. Got his first start on varsity and fit right in; advanced defender on the dirt, plays through the ball with rhythm and timing, soft hands with a clean glove-to-hand. Arm plays with carry and accuracy across from a short ¾ release. The right-handed hitter has a wide base with a minimal stride, hands have some movement pre-pitch, works to stay short to the ball with a flat path. High-level, high-ceiling prospect in the 2027 class.

INF Jacsen Tucker (Oswego East, 2027) remains a highly intriguing prospect within the state’s 2027 class, currently slotted at No. 8 in Illinois and No. 215 nationally. He stands out physically at 6-foot-2, 170-pounds with lean strength and all sorts of athleticism, as well as projection as he matures. The right-handed hitter has an easy/loose swing, using his levers well while working on the barrel with a repeatable and simple operation, maxing out at 93.2 mph for his EV. Tucker has athletic actions on the infield with easy range to both sides of his glove, soft hands with a clean glove-to-hand. Premium athlete with a 6.95 in the 60, also recorded a 33.2” max vertical jump.

INF Jacsen Tucker (Oswego East, 2027) is a two-time PBR Junior Future Games participant that seemingly gets better upon each look. An ultra-projectable 6-foot-2, 165-pounds with long levers, Tucker was all over the barrel from the right side this weekend. On Sunday morning, Tucker hit an inside-the-park home run and got around the bases in a blazing 15.93 seconds. Tucker has also ran a 7.02 60-yard dash in the past for our staff. Building upon the offense and his hit tool, Tucker’s athleticism shows up defensively in numerous spots. We saw Tucker make plays up the middle in the infield and out in Centerfield, showcasing plenty of range.

MIF Jacsen Tucker (Oswego East, 2027) is another highly-projectable prospect on the Cangelosi Sparks 2027 squad. Tucker’s 6-foot-2, 165-pound, long-limbed, high-waisted frame continues to tick up and he is a natural on the infield playing with fluid, easy actions and accurate arm. He also flashed his intriguing offensive upside, launching a home run in the Championship game of the event. The former Team Illinois Junior Future Gamer is a name to know in the 2027 class.

Impressed out of the bullpen with a quick and whippy arm. FB sat 74-76 mph, T77. Had a feel for a changeup and slider as well. 

Carson Trivellini (Crystal Lake South) and Jacsen Tucker (Oswego East) both impressed with their infield actions and ability to stick on the left-side moving forward. Both were some of the better infield defenders on the day.
