Kyle Tucker is a guy I'm getting a little bit of a crush on. Most of the video I've seen is from when he was a junior. He is/was a bean pole. His swing has a kind of funky start to it, but through the zone he has that pretty left hand swing and for being a bean pole he hits it hard.
Seems like all five of the touted HS OFers have at least a chance to develop as CFers. Think that's important at #9, especially if Almora is unable to continue hitting line drives to LF.
Still, kind of spooked about HS OFers that high unless it's a special case.
Remember the 1989 draft when HS OFers went #4, 6, and 8 (Earl Cunningham) and none of the three got past AA ball. Of course, didn't have all the showcases back then and clubs do better job of avoiding the total stiffs that high.
Then there is Ryan Harvey.
Kind of think maybe this is the year to draft a pitcher with upside. Law linked Matuela to Cubs in his chat---a guy who was a favorite to go #1 pre-season. Yeah, a risk for several reasons but intriguing.
