Kevin McGonigle Seeing Time at Third Base
Detroit Tigers infield prospect Kevin McGonigle was seen working out at third base in camp on Friday, according to Evan Woodbery of MLive.com. McGonigle is only 21 years old, but he's ranked by MLB Pipeline as the No. 2 overall prospect going into the 2026 season because of his advanced hit tool. The former first-rounder in 2023 hit .305/.408/.583 with a .991 OPS, 19 home runs, 80 RBI, 68 runs scored, and 10 stolen bases in 88 games between Single-A Lakeland, High-A West Michigan, and Double-A Erie last year to earn himself an invite to major-league spring training this year. He can play third, second base, and shortstop, although his clearest path to playing time with Detroit this year is at the 6. The lefty-hitting infielder doesn't have impressive raw power or speed, but he's been extremely consistent and could become the Tigers' starting shortstop by this summer.
