When the Chicago Cubs acquired outfielder Kyle Tucker via trade in December, they knew they were getting a difference-maker.
Tucker, a three-time All-Star and World Series champion, was widely regarded as one of the league’s best power hitters during his stint in Houston. Since 2022, his 82 home runs are the eighth-most by a left-handed batter.
So far in his debut season with Chicago, Tucker has lived up to his reputation.
Since starting 2-for-16 in his first four games with the Cubs, Tucker has been on an absolute tear, going 10-for-21. Impressively, from March 29 to April 1, Tucker homered in a career-high four consecutive games.
