    RHP Rusty Tucker had a solid season for Maine, leading the America East Conference in ERA and earning league pitcher-of-the-year honors. He's a two-year veteran of the Cape Cod League, where he proved he can pitch against better competition. Tucker has fringe-average stuff with a fastball clocked as low as 83 mph and as high as 91, but usually 87-89. He also has a solid changeup. His command and competitiveness are his greatest strengths, and he projects as a middle reliever.
