Derrek Tucker   Relief Pitcher | Retired or Inactive Players Pitching He keeps his pitches low in the strike zone and throws a heavy ball. He's a good late inning man, which is when being a pitcher really counts. Tucker also has a decent changeup. The Retired or Inactive Players hope he can work on his control a little bit. Every once and a while one slips away from him and either ends up at the backstop or in the right field bleachers. He tends to work slowly when in a jam, which just makes his problems worse by lulling his fielders to sleep. He's trying to develop a sinker, but as of yet it's been well below par. He changes speeds well enough to keep righthanders from teeing off on him. Defense & Hitting Tucker uses a slide step to keep runners close. He isn't especially quick off the mound but generally fields his position adequately. Tucker is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Tucker has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Tucker as a pinch-runner on occasion. 2025 Outlook Tucker has below average skills, even for the low minors. One has to expect the Retired or Inactive Players will give him his walking papers before the end of the season. I just don't know if The Retired or Inactive Players are ever going to get what they expect out of him.           -- Ska Nyman, A-Ball Scout
