On Sunday, MLB Pipeline named shortstop Kevin McGonigle and starting pitcher Jaden Hamm as the Detroit Tigers’ Prospects of the Year. Both had outstanding breakout campaigns in their first full seasons of pro ball. They’re very worthy selections. Even better from the Tigers’ perspective, there are very good arguments for a whole handful of other prospects. The Tigers’ farm system is in really good shape.
While 2023 first round pick Max Clark had a good year, it was McGonigle, the Tigers competitive balance pick and the 37th overall pick in that draft, who really opened eyes this season.
