"From one point of view, Tucker has had a solid walk year, posting 4.7 WAR with his offensive numbers down just a tick from last year's career year but underlying metrics close to his best seasons. On the other hand, Tucker had a really rough run in August, hitting .148/.233/.148 (16 wRC+) over 15 games (61 plate appearances) from Aug. 1 to Aug. 18."
"Schwarber's season is less complicated. The Philadelphia Phillies slugger has posted career bests in most offensive categories, including his 50 homers, 123 RBIs and 4.5 WAR. The only negatives for his outlook on free agency are that Schwarber will be 33 years old in March and has played only 13 games in the field over the last two seasons. Designated hitters well into their 30s haven't fared well in free agency,"
Kyle Schwarber posted career highs with 50 home runs, 123 RBIs and a 4.5 WAR while serving mostly as a hitter and will be 33 in March. Schwarber has played only 13 games in the field across the last two seasons, creating uncertainty about his defensive value for free agents in their 30s despite his rare 50-homer walk year. Kyle Tucker produced 4.7 WAR with underlying metrics near his best seasons, but he endured a severe August slump and is currently on the injured list with a calf strain. Twenty scouts, executives and agents were polled to estimate potential contract outcomes.
