Brett
Tucker

INF Brett Tucker (Lemont, 2026) stood out at his first-ever PBR event and put himself on the map as a 2026 name to know. The 5-foot-11, 155-pound right-handed hitter has all kinds of projection in the frame and his right-handed swing. At the plate, he has whippy, quick hands, stays on top of the baseball, flat through the zone with above-average bat-to-ball skills while averaging 80.3 mph off the bat as a freshman.  Defensively, Tucker has the skillset to stick on the left-side of the diamond with active/fluid footwork, flashing rhythm and feel while playing through the baseball with soft hands and an arm that topped at 79 mph.
