'I didn't know Kyle Tucker spoke': Why the 'silent assassin' could be MLB's next $400 million star

Kyle Tucker is projected to earn at least $300- $400 million in free agency next year .

Tucker was drafted by the Astros with the No. 5 pick in the 2015 MLB draft.

The Cubs hope he can lead them to the playoffs for the first time in a full season since 2018 before he hits free agency.

Tucker has been able to fly under the radar while putting up MVP -level numbers.

Kyle Tucker is one of the most coveted players in the majors entering his platform season .

Tucker 's swing looks just as it did when he was breaking records in high school.

Coach Troy Snitker: "The swing itself is elite. It may look a little different in the way he slots the bat and some of the wrist angles and the flatness of his bat is an elite swing".

Things came natural (to Tucker ) and he just has one of those swings that it plays and it's always played. "He's one of the best in the game, and the only thing that's going to change about him is his contractual situation, not his play, not his attitude towards the game. He's just like he was back then.".
