Chicago Cubs Right Fielder Kyle Tucker has gotten off to a strong start this regular season. He joined Hack Wilson in 1930 as the only player in franchise history with 25+ RBI and 20+ walks in the first 26 games of a season. The only other players to accomplish this feat in recent years were Bryce Harper and Miguel Sano in 2017.
Tucker has been great for the Cubs over the first month. He is 19th in batting average, eighth in home runs, fourth in RBI, and fifth in OPS. Tucker is also sixth in the league in walks. Will he be able to keep playing at a high level for the Chicago Cubs?

Chicago has been one of the league’s best teams this year. They are 16-10 and leading the National League Central. Chicago has been paced by its offense this year. They are leading the league in batting average, third in home runs, and leading the league in runs scored by a wide margin. Tucker is leading the club in many offensive categories.
Chicago’s pitching staff has been the weaker part of the team. They are 18th in ERA, 23rd in opposing batting average, and 22nd in WHIP. Starting Pitcher Shota Imanaga has been the best part of the pitching staff. He is 17th in the league in ERA.
Final Thoughts
Tucker and the Chicago Cubs return to the diamond this afternoon when they begin a three-game set with the Philadelphia Phillies. Tucker will look to continue a historic start to the regular season as the calendar gets ready to turn over to May.
