Coming out of high school, Tucker had more power than Scott. Outside of that, you can see why scouts compare the two young hitters. They both have a tall, lanky build with a simplistic, smooth swing.
In 2015, Tucker was taken with the number five overall pick by the Astros and he is currently ranked as the 15th prospect in all of baseball. His development has been rapid as he has hit his way through the Astros’ farm system. A similar fast developing path can be seen with Scott as his hit tool is the real deal.
