Kyle Tucker 2024 Fantasy Baseball Outlook: Even After Top-5 MVP Finish in '23, Trends Suggest More Productive '24
12 months agoHouston Astros outfielder Kyle Tucker finished just one HR shy of a 30/30 season in 2023, and he should make another run at the feat in 2024. Even if he doesn't quite get there, King Tuck will be a top fantasy asset again. Last season, the 26-year-old had a .284-29-112-97-30 line with a .372 WOBA and 140 wRC+. He'll go into the 2024 campaign at the age of 27, and a special season could be in store if some trends continue. Since 2019, the former first-round pick has increased his BB% and lowered his K%, increased his Contact%, lowered his SwStr%, and added to his stolen base total each year. Tucker's NFBC ADP sits at 7, right where RotoBaller also has him ranked. The left-handed, no-batting-glove-wearing hitter finished fifth in AL MVP voting in 2023, yet his FGDC projections look even a bit more promising for 2024: .286-34-110-103-26 with a WOBA of .377 and wRC+ 142. The sky-high ADP might be hard to outperform, but he'll help guide managers to the fantasy throne nonetheless, and an AL MVP-caliber season is not out of the question, maybe even likely.
