Dodgers manager praises All-Star after superb defensive displays
"I think the one thing is he's won a Gold Glove. Trying to get the defense back to where it should be, that's one part of it."
"He's made some nice plays, he really has, whether it be cutting the ball off, keeping the guy at first base, getting to the wall, taking a home run away or getting back on a line drive over his head."
"He prides himself on his defense, and was disappointed last year in his defense. And so that's something that - to win a Gold Glove is his goal coming into this year."
"I am surprised that they got off to a slow start, but you just never really know."
Kyle Tucker, a former Gold Glove winner, has shown impressive defensive skills since joining the Dodgers. Manager Dave Roberts aims for Tucker to regain his defensive form by 2026. Tucker has made significant plays, contributing to the team's success. Although he has struggled offensively with a .561 OPS in the early season, Roberts remains optimistic about Tucker's batting performance improving. The small sample size shows Tucker currently ranks in the 100th percentile for fielding run value, indicating his strong defensive contributions.
