Kyle Tucker: .278/.348/.522, 31 HR, 92 RBI, 136 wRC+

Probably the most interesting projection in the lineup, these numbers are down from Tucker’s 2021 actuals, and significantly down from 2021’s expected numbers from Baseball Savant in most categories, though one more home run is projected and the RBI match exactly. Tucker will turn 25 in January and should be in the prime of his career, which makes me believe his trajectory is pointed more upwards than these projections indicate.
