PEORIA, Ariz. – New Cubs star Kyle Tucker doesn’t take extraneous swings.

“If you feel like you’re in a good spot, there’s no need to hit yourself out of that,” he said Monday in a conversation with the Sun-Times.

Most days he’s only in the batting cage for 15 or 20 minutes, he estimated. But a few days ago, he stayed for about 45.

He was looking for the feeling of being synced up in his movements, not over-striding.
