Looking at the 2015 Draft: 27th Best Prospect



Continuing our look at the 2015 MLB First Year Players Draft we take a look at the #27 ranked prospect expected to enter the draft. As always we will include the mini scouting report from MLB.com as we introduce the #27 prospect, Kyle Tucker. Tucker is an outfielder from the Gulf Coast High School in Florida. Tucker is committed to the University of Florida but you know how those commitments can change with millions of dollars on the line.

Here is the write up from MLB.com:

Scouting grades: Hit: 60 | Power: 55 | Run: 50 | Arm: 55 | Field: 50 | Overall: 50
Though Preston Tucker has slammed 49 homers with 197 RBIs in his two full seasons in the Astros' system, scouts say there's no doubt that his younger brother is a better prospect. Like Preston, Kyle committed to Florida out of Tampa's Plant High -- Hall of Famer Wade Boggs' alma mater -- but he's more likely to turn pro out of high school.
Tucker has one of the purest swings and best bats in the 2015 high school crop. He makes consistent hard contact, and once he fills out his lanky frame, he could be a plus hitter in both average and power.
He's a more well-rounded player than his older brother and should have average-or-better tools across the board. He'll likely move from center field to a corner in pro ball and has the arm strength needed in right.
