Kyle Tucker is not hitting anything but fastballs

I know Kyle Tucker’s talent is undeniable. The guy is less than a year removed from a 30-30 season in Triple-A and he’s been one of the best prospects in the organization for years. In 2020, at least so far, he’s getting playing time as the Astros left fielder and finally surpassed the 72 plate appearances he accumulated in both 2018 and 2019.

But I find very intriguing the fact that he’s not hitting anything but fastballs. The 23-year-old is off to a .200/.238/.363 start at the plate along with five doubles, one triple, and two home runs.
