2021 Projections
2021 Fantasy Outlook
Tucker was already slated to see a lot of playing time last season, but with Yordan Alvarez missing just about the entire year, Tucker appeared in 58 out of 60 games. His slash line was nearly identical to his short stay in 2019 but he did It without the benefit of the livelier ball. Tucker's K% improved which is key for someone so young, providing a batting average floor for his enticing power/speed upside. There's a lot of red in Tucker's Statcast profile, indicating his performance is supported by strong batted-ball skills, notably average exit velocity and hard-hit rate. Icing on the cake is a tidy 8-for-9 in stolen-base attempts, prorating to a 20-steal campaign. Tucker is assured of regular playing time, hitting in the middle of a potent order. Entering just his age-24 season, Tucker checks all the boxes for the classic five-category stud, with future first-round, $30-plus potential. Read Past Outlooks

No uncertainty in 2021
Tucker is expected to serve as the everyday right fielder in 2021, Chandler Rome of the Houston Chronicle reports.
ANALYSIS
Unlike previous seasons when he was blocked by established veterans and his own anemic production against MLB pitching (.652 OPS, 144 plate appearances), Tucker has a secure spot in the lineup. He was a bright spot for the Astros in 2020 when many of their players underperformed. Tucker had an .837 OPS over 228 plate appearances and came on in the second half, slashing .317/.386/.619 over the final 140 appearances. "I kind of figured it out (during) the second half, kind of fixed my swing with some stuff and just got all-around more comfortable out there," Tucker said Tuesday. "The second half of the season was really how I play and how I want to play." The organization is looking for the 24-year-old Tucker to help replace the production lost when George Springer and Josh Reddick moved on during the offseason.

Recent RotoWire Articles Featuring Kyle Tucker

Todd Zola looks at how early selections can impact subsequent picks when constructing a roster, and why simply taking the "best" player available isn't always the best course of action.

The Astros stuck by Josh Reddick throughout the 2019 season, much to the chagrin of Tucker's fantasy owners. He did finally get some run in September and enjoyed his first taste of big-league success, and even earned a spot on the postseason roster through the World Series. On account of being stuck at Triple-A and accumulating 536 PA with Round Rock, Tucker put up a 30-30 season, leading the PCL in stolen bases. He walked at an 11.2% clip while striking out 21.6% of the time. The latter number jumped to 27.8% against big-league arms and it is a long, unconventional swing, but the batted-ball numbers were excellent and his track record suggests he will be able to make enough contact. The big question is: how much will he run? Houston as a club stole 67 bases all year (17th in total attempts), though Tucker was active on the basepaths and it's possible the Astros run more under a new manager.
