Kyle Tucker Positioned as Core Dodgers Hitter Following Playoff Surge

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Kyle Tucker is expected to anchor the lineup next season after finishing the postseason as the team's top hitter. After signing a $240 million contract, Tucker hit just .233 in the regular season before turning things around with a .333 average and five home runs over his final 17 games. He led Los Angeles in October with a .333 average and .938 OPS, including a game-winning home run in NLDS Game 1.
