One of the more advertised minor league signings for the Colorado Rockies in the offseason was the pact with former Pittsburgh Pirates first-round pick Cole Tucker. Despite a mass amount of potential, Tucker wasn’t able to establish himself at the big-league level in parts of four seasons with the Pirates. In his career, he has batted .211/.259/.314 line over 469 big league plate appearances
Somehow, in some way, Tucker has enjoyed a strong season down in Triple-A Albuquerque to earn a spot with the Rockies late in the 2023 season.

There is some sort of magic in the air down in Triple-A Albuquerque.
