From January 28th, 2012. This interview was recorded as part of an interview for the Santa Fe Sentinel about players that forwent the draft and stayed in school. This was the first professional 1-1 interview I have ever conducted. It took place before the 2012 Florida Gators baseball season, where they held the #1 spot in the NCAA top-25 standings. Tucker went on to bat .321 with 16 home runs and 50 RBIs and was drafted by the Astros in the 7th round of the 2012 MLB June amateur draft. He would go on to play three season in the bigs with the Houston Astros, Atlanta Braves and Cincinnati Reds hitting .222 with 23 homers and 68 RBI's.
