Pitchers are really going after him early and not letting him work the count. They are also keeping him off balances. Skaggs was offspeed early in the count to Tucker and then Robles gives him 97 down the pipe.

Tucker needs to get into a grove and really attack early. I know he gave a big hack at Robles 97 but he’s gotta do something with it to get these pitchers to backdown.

Once he does that, he’s shown he can work a count and has pretty good plate discipline

He hit 2 balls 100 mph tonight. Just needs to elevate. He's been a slow starter at every level. Would be nice if other guys were hitting...but they aint

Yea I believe the scouting report was that he works deep counts and that’s why at times he has a strikeout issue. The problem is the pitchers at this level can command pitches and take advantage of his patience. Every ab he is down in the count. I expect a top prospect to recognize this and adjust but he has yet to do so. That’s the disappointing part for me.
