"I think him just posting and in our lineup - he's an on-base machine. He can hit for average. He can hit for some power. But I just think being around the talent we have, the numbers will speak to it. We'll see what level. But I just think he's a heckuva player. For me, it's just continue to be who you are and we'll see where it takes us."
"For me, I just see him as a guy if he gets on base, however he gets on base, that's the biggest - that's something we're looking for and something we're counting on. Having Mookie (Betts) and Freddie (Freeman) behind him and Will (Smith) - if he's a guy who gets on base at a high, high clip, then everything else will kind of fall into place."
Kyle Tucker signed a $240 million contract with the Los Angeles Dodgers as a free agent outfielder. Through early Cactus League play, Tucker recorded only 3 hits in 15 at-bats, a disappointing output for his salary. However, manager Dave Roberts expressed satisfaction with Tucker's approach at the plate, highlighting his six walks in 22 plate appearances. Roberts emphasized Tucker's value as an on-base machine with speed and power potential. Positioned at the top of the lineup, Tucker's ability to consistently reach base will benefit star hitters like Mookie Betts, Freddie Freeman, and Will Smith batting behind him. Roberts believes Tucker's patience and eye at the plate, combined with the team's offensive depth, will reduce pressure and allow his performance to develop naturally.
