“Overrated” “Tucker gonna carry that team” - MLB Twitter divided as Houston Astros outfielder Kyle Tucker commits to Team USA for World Baseball Classic

The World Baseball Classic is set to resume after nearly six years, in the spring of 2023. Many big-name players, including Kyle Tucker, have committed to the event.

It was announced this afternoon that the Houston Astros outfielder has expressed his desire to play for Team USA in the World Baseball Classic. Tucker adds even more depth to an already loaded USA team.

Many MLB fans took to Twitter to react to the breaking news. Fans are divided on the commitment. One fan thinks Tucker is an overrated outfielder. Tucker is, in fact, not overrated; he might be underrated. Tucker has 22 home runs, an OPS of .813 and a WAR of 4.5.

Other fans feel that Tucker will help carry Team USA to the championship. He certainly adds depth to an already loaded outfield!

To have an outfield that features Mookie Betts, Bryce Harper, Mike Trout, Cedric Mullins and now Kyle Tucker is ridiculous. Team USA is absolutely stacked at almost every position.

USA fans feel that the team is the hands-down favorite to win it all.

With many stars committing to play for Team USA, some are saying that it is starting to get unfair at this point.

Overall, this is a huge addition for Team USA as they pursue another World Baseball Classic title.
