Tucker is a hold — the skill and the surface sit at the same level.

His expected wOBA is .324, which is nine points above the league average of .315, and his actual wOBA is .302 — nine points the other way. The two numbers bracket average, which is what a hold looks like. He has enough plate appearances for both to be reliable, and the contact quality backs up the flat read: 88.6 mph off the bat and a 36.7% hard-hit rate, both within a few ticks of league. What separates him is the command of the zone. He strikes out only 17.6% of the time and walks 12.5%, both better than league, and he chases less than most. His expected wOBA has stepped up across the sample, so the skill is drifting in the right direction, but there is no luck stat inflating the line and no cold streak to buy. Hold. A 1 HR / 7 R / 5 RBI / 1 SB / .225 AVG line makes him a drop-tier drag — hold only, never a buy.
