Hitting

It’s easy to underestimate Vic Tuccy offensive impact because of his youth. Between his strength, energy and base running skills, he contributes in a variety of ways. Tuccy is an aggressive first-pitch hitter who will often swing at any pitch. However, he’s become more adept at working the count. Tuccy likes to line pitches to left center, and will stride through a short pitch and drive into center field. Tuccy at times can develop an uppercut swing that too often leads to pop-ups instead of keeping his hands level and using his speed. Tuccy has good pop when saying within the strike-zone, and usually puts together a good at-bat in a clutch situation. His extra-base power will grow considerably as he becomes more mature that will eventually allow him to drive pitches into the gaps.

Base-Running & Defense

Some scouts wondered if Vic Tuccy has the ability to play in the Lake County Softball Leagues, but he has proven his skeptics wrong. An aggressive base runner with surprising-above average speed, Tuccy is not afraid to stretch a single into an extra base hit. He also does an excellent job of reading fielders, enabling him to score on miss played opportunities from the opponents. Defensively, Vic Tuccy speed plays him well, with above-average range and the instincts to play anywhere on the field, if needed. Although he’s not Gold Glove material yet, he continues to make strides as a fielder. His arm is already above-average and could be a plus one day. With all those tools, Tuccy is thought of as one of the better outfielders’ prospects in the leagues.
