LOS ANGELES, CA \u2014 There\u2019s some irony in Kyle Tucker<\/a> earning the right field spot on MLB.com\u2019s All-Postseason Team<\/a>. After a first season in Los Angeles that frustrated both Tucker and Dodgers fans<\/a>, he delivered in October while much of the lineup struggled around him.<\/p>\n

Tucker hit .333 with a .938 OPS in eight postseason games. According to MLB.com, that was his highest OPS in a single postseason, coming in his eighth trip to the playoffs. The only other Dodger to get a whiff of the list was Tarik Skubal<\/a>, whose performance in his two starts was good enough for an honorable mention on the pitching side.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, Tucker\u2019s production wasn\u2019t enough to keep the rest of the Dodgers playing. Their inability to generate consistent offense against Milwaukee helped send them home, leaving his strong individual performance as a footnote to a disappointing finish.<\/p>\n

That makes the recognition somewhat bittersweet. The Dodgers added Tucker expecting his bat to help an already formidable lineup carry them through October. When he supplied that production, too many of the hitters around him struggled to contribute.<\/p>\n

Eight postseason games won\u2019t erase the frustration of his debut season. Fans understandably wanted more consistent production over the full schedule, and an All-Postseason selection offers limited consolation after an NLCS exit.<\/p>\n

Still, Tucker deserves credit for finishing well<\/a>. His October gives him something encouraging to carry into next season, and gives Dodgers fans reason to hope that his second year brings more of the hitter they expected when he arrived<\/a>.<\/p>\n
