Rising Tigers Prospect Max Clark Turns Heads With Incredible Power Display at West Michigan Game originally appeared on Athlon Sports.

The Detroit Tigers’ farm system has shown plenty of signs of encouragement this season in lockstep with The Big League club as top prospects Kevin McGonigle, Max Clark and Josue Briceño were recently named the 2025 MLB Futures Game.

The Tigers trio is paced by McGonigle, who ranks number seven among all prospects in MLB, Clark, who ranks 12th, and Briceño, who ranks 58th.

On Tuesday, Clark turned heads with a Herculean home run that landed in a surprising place as the West Michigan White Caps battled the Great Lakes Loons on the baseball diamond.

“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.
