Kyle Tucker went 1-for-2 with a 2 out, 2 run single and he now leads the majors with 17 RBI. His numbers are very similar to Acuna, he just doesn't get the same attention because, well, he's not Ronald Acuna
Acuna .410 avg 4 HR 10 RBI 1.255 OPS 4 SB
Tucker .410 avg 4 HR 17 RBI 1.224 OPS 2 SB

Random stats from a couple other kids I'm prospecting who are doing well:

Brendan Rodgers .302 avg 3 HR 7 RBI .910 OPS 1 SB
Scott Kingery .364 avg 3 HR 5 RBI 1.097 OPS 4 SB

I wish I could be including stats of Eloy Jimenez & Bo Bichette but the Jays never use Bichette (except in games where stats don't count toward ST numbers) & Eloy was sent down after hitting 2 bombs in 3 at-bats. Pfffttt...

Acuna's rankings among the Grapefruit League
.426 avg = 1st Place
.511 OBP = 1st Place
.744 slg% = 1st Place
1.246 OPS = 1st Place
19 Hits = 1st Place
4 HR = 3rd Place
4 SB = 3rd Place
11 RBI = 7th Place
MOJO = 1st Place
Hat Style = 1st Place
So fresh and so clean = 1st Place
Number of restraining orders handed out (to me) = LAST Place / Score = F-

Whenever Ohtani's mechanics start to click and he gets comfortable with his new surroundings I wouldn't expect to see his offensive stats improve too much more than where they are at right now but I'm assuming he'll look like a completely different pitcher.

I never projected him to become a frontline starter and I always thought fangraphs/mlb.com's #1 placement of him in their top 100 rankings was a little ridiculous (I would have put him 3rd or 4th. Acuna, Guerrero & possibly even Eloy are budding superstars with too high of a ceiling for a pitcher to be ahead of them. I realize it was the fact he was considered both pitcher & hitter that got him that 1st place ranking but they should have known better that offensive stats from Japan don't translate to upper level milb or mlb numbers) but I'd be surprised if he doesn't start pitching like a solid #3 starter by midseason.

Big JV, the GOAT has tossed 3 scoreless innings against the Mets so far. He'll likely get a couple more innings of work.

Acuna is not in the starting lineup today. Braves must have felt it would be unfair to the Blue Jays to do so.

Julio Teheran is quietly having a great Spring, heck I didn't even notice. 4 scoreless no-hit innings with 3 strikeouts. He's currently sporting a 1.00 ERA & 0.88 WHIP in ST

A’s say that after consulting with Dr. James Andrews, A.J. Puk will have Tommy John surgery.
