The Detroit Tigers’ farm system has been showing significant promise this season, aligning closely with the success of the major league team. Recently, top prospects Kevin McGonigle, Max Clark, and Josue Briceño were selected for the 2025 MLB Futures Game.
Leading the Tigers’ trio is McGonigle, ranked 7th among all MLB prospects, followed by Clark at 12th and Briceño at 58th.
On Tuesday, Clark made a memorable impact with a powerful home run that landed in an unexpected spot during the West Michigan Whitecaps’ game against the Great Lakes Loons.
“Max Clark smokes one onto the lawn,” the White Caps’ social media account wrote.
The highlight clip shows a towering fly ball drilled to right field landing on the green grass as Clark rounded the bases.
The home run was his only hit of the day but it showcased the frightening power possessed by the current .275 White Caps hitter, who plays center field.

“Love it but was that a grown man who just smacked that young kid going for the ball?” one fan wrote.
The White Caps lost 14-9 after the Loons put up 9 runs in the sixth inning.
Clark will have a chance to show the MLB world what he can do on July 12 at 4 p.m. ET during the Futures Game, a growing tradition that has become a favorite among ardent fans of professional baseball.
The game will be simulcast on MLB.com, MLB TV and the MLB app.
