""I talked to Robert (Van Scoyoc) and he said there's some things that he's seeing a little bit. He's getting out of his zone, I see. And he's not a guy that typically chases down below, but he's chasing a lot more down below for me.""
""I see him as a high-ball hitter, and so I guess a little bit just kind of getting him back into his hitting zone, and then cleaning up a couple of the mechanical things that Robert sees. They've had conversations.""
""Typically, when guys chase, they're trying to do a little bit too much.""
Kyle Tucker, after signing a four-year, $240 million contract with the Dodgers, has struggled significantly, hitting .246 with a 95 wRC+. His strikeout rate has increased to 23.9%, raising concerns about his performance. Dodgers manager Dave Roberts noted that Tucker is chasing pitches outside his hitting zone more frequently. Despite his past success, including seven seasons with a wRC+ above 120, there are worries that Tucker's anxiety to perform may be affecting his game. Roberts believes Tucker needs to refocus on his hitting mechanics and approach.
