Kyle Tucker scored his 100th RBI of the season this year for the Houston Astros, becoming the first full-time outfielder to do so since 2009. The last Houston outfielder to do so was Carlos Lee, who had 102 RBIs. With a month left in the regular season, Tucker can fly past Lee’s 102 RBI mark.
He is the first full-time OF to reach 100 RBIs since 2009.
King Tuck. ????He is the first full-time OF to reach 100 RBI since 2009. https://t.co/GSesWMFotd
Kyle Tucker scored his 100th RBI at the start of the Astros’ game today against the Tampa Bay Rays. In the first inning, with runners on the corners, Tucker flied over the Rays outfielder’s head, scoring José Altuve. This gave the Astros an early 1-0 lead over Tampa.
Kyle Tucker has had a fantastic season with the Astros. Entering Tuesday, the slugger has a .261 batting average with 28 home runs. He is tied for 19th in the MLB with the most home runs this season. He has this Houston Astros team as a contender to win the World Series this year.
Given the great season he’s having, fans are ready for the team to re-sign him before it’s too late. He is currently on a one-year deal with the club and will start arbitration next year before becoming an unrestricted free agent in 2026. Now is the time to re-sign Tucker before he gets more expensive or chooses to “go for it.” himself” like Aaron Judge has this year.
@astros Its price keeps going up. The man is a monster. I hope we can sign it
The Houston Astros selected Kyle Tucker with the fifth overall pick in the 2015 MLB draft. He made his debut with the team in 2018. Since then, he has been the AL’s leading three-pointer (2020), second-team All -MLB (2021) and reached the All-Star Game (2022). With each year, Tucker has become a better baseball player. With the way he has been playing this year, his value will continue to increase.
@astros This is actually a WILD stat. Kyle Tucker is the ????????
Houston fans are optimistic that he will continue to improve and be in the MVP race for the 2023 season. Someone who is two home runs and eight stolen bases away from joining the 30-30 club is definitely possible. The 30-30 club is a rare list of players who have amassed 30 home runs and 30 stolen bases during the season. There’s a real chance he could reach this milestone with a month left in the regular season.
