Tigers To Promote Max Clark
MLB Trade Rumors • • sports
Key Points:
- The Detroit Tigers are promoting top outfield prospect Max Clark, the No. 3 overall pick in the 2023 draft and currently ranked No. 16 on Baseball America's Top 100 prospects list.
- Clark, 21, is not on the 40-man roster, so the Tigers must make a corresponding roster move to officially add him to the major league team.
- He has had a strong season in Triple-A, hitting .276/.368/.434 with 10 home runs and 21 stolen bases, and has been especially hot over the past six weeks with a .328/.427/.523 line.
- Scouts praise Clark for his plus-plus speed, excellent hit tool, solid power, and strong arm, projecting him as a versatile outfielder with potential to be an All-Star.
- Given the timing of his promotion late in the season, Clark will not accrue a full year of major league service time this year, preserving his rookie eligibility for the future.
