Max Clark Strengthens Case as Must-Stash Outfield Prospect
Detroit Tigers outfield prospect Max Clark continues to be a very appealing name on the fantasy baseball waiver wire. Although he's still in Triple-A, Clark projects to make his MLB debut this summer, boasting an enticing blend of speed, quality contact, and good swing decisions. So far this year, he's slashing .248/.335/.374 with an 11.0% walk rate, 16.3% strikeout rate, and 93 wRC+. Although the wRC+ is down, that's likely a product of a reduced home run total. He's gone yard just four times this year, which is a stark contrast from his 14 homers last season. The good news is that he's still hitting the ball hard, as his 111.3 mph maximum exit velocity ranks in the 83rd percentile. He also has a 20.60% chase rate (85th percentile), 14.8% whiff rate (93rd percentile), and 90.94% zone contact rate (90th percentile). Managers in deeper formats shouldn't wait to stash Clark, who is already rostered in 5% of leagues.
