Background: Tucci starred in four sports (baseball, football, baseball and track) in high school. A first baseman-outfielder in college, he has concentrated on the outfield since signing with the Blue Jays. He was voted the best power-hitting prospect in the Florida State League this season. Strengths: Tucci is rated second only to Delgado in the organization in terms of raw power. He has plenty of arm strength to play right field and has shown solid defensive skills for either corner spot. Weaknesses: Tucci has a big swing that comes with big power. He can limit the liability, though, as he becomes more selective at the plate and gets a better feel for how pitches are trying to work him. He is a solid average runner but needs to be more attentive on the bases. The Future: Tucci could force his way to Syracuse with a strong spring, but most likely will open the 1999 season at Double-A. He can play right field, but his future is more likely in left.
