Kevin McGonigle Homers, Collects Four RBI on Wednesday
Kevin McGonigle went 2-for-4 with a walk, a solo home run, four RBI, and three runs scored on Wednesday for High-A West Michigan. It's the Tigers' second-ranked prospect's second home run in his last three games, and he's been demolishing High-A pitching since coming off the injured list on May 21. The former 37th-overall draft pick is hitting .387 with 17 doubles and six home runs in only 27 games, boasting a .476 OBP thanks to a 14.3 percent walk rate, compared to striking out just 12.7 percent of the time. A 1.193 OPS should get him to Double-A soon, and with his superb contact skills, the 20-year-old could be knocking on the door to the majors at some point next year, while also bringing some power and speed along with him.
