The latest edition of MLB Pipeline’s prospect rankings have dropped, and in a little bit of a surprise, Max Clark edges out Colt Keith as the Detroit Tigers new top prospect. The 18-year-old center fielder, the Tigers selection with the third overall pick in July’s amateur draft, has already impressed in short order with four doubles, a triple, and two home runs in four games played in the rookie ball level Florida Complex League.
As a player projected to be at least an above average center fielder, Clark brings a much more well-rounded tool kit to the Tigers’ farm system despite his youth and inexperience.
