Tucker H.

I am a current Professional Baseball Player in the Oakland Athletics minor league system. I have given Pitching lessons to baseball players and have helped The New England Ruffnecks baseball program from time to time.

I have been playing Baseball since I can remember. I was lucky enough to play for the New England Ruffnecks program for several years when I was younger. From there I went to Needham High School where I played Shortstop and Pitched for 3 years. I went on to be the closer at Ithaca College in Upstate NY for 4 years. During that time I was 4 time all conference and made two NCAA Regional Tournament appearances. Also during that time I was able to play summer ball in the NECBL for the Bristol Collegiate Baseball Club in 2010 and for The Chatham Anglers of the Cape Cod League in 2011. I was drafted the following June by the Oakland Athletics and have been playing in their minor league system ever since. During the 2015 Season I was in Double A where we were able to win the Texas League Championship. During the 2016 season I was playing with the Triple A Nashville Sounds (Triple A affiliate of Oakland As) where I pitched out of the bullpen as a setup man and closer.

For now the Dream continues when I head to Spring Training in February 2017. I would like to offer all my knowledge and skills that I have learned over the years to young baseball players and prospects around the area. I know how hard it is to get proper coaching and exposure up in the northeast.

I will put them through the proper stretch routine and throwing program that we use in professional baseball as well as provide them with proper lifting routines and workouts if they would like. after the warmup depending on what the client wants to work on I will run them through several skill specific drills. I will also work with them on the mental side of the game of Baseball because of how important that is at every level.
