Months ago, I wrote an article to say 2021 was gonna be Kyle Tucker’s year, assuming he would have his big break next season. It turns out it happened in 2020: Despite a rough environment for the Astros, the 23-year-old came through with a great performance from Day 1 to the postseason. It’s now clear that we should be excited about him in the long term and that I was absolutely wrong.
Tucker impressed with a robust .268/.325/.512/.837 slash line across 58 games and 228 plate appearances. He racked up 56 hits, along with 12 doubles, a league-leading six triples, and nine home runs.
