Max Clark Still a Solid Stash Option Despite Cooling at Triple-A
Detroit Tigers outfield prospect Max Clark has cooled off at Triple-A, but he is still holding his own, having hit safely in 10 of his last 11 games. In a sign that perhaps he's about to get hot again, the Tigers' second-ranked prospect belted his first extra-base hit this past Saturday after going nine games without one. His extra-base hit on Saturday was nearly a grand slam but was ruled a double after the umpires determined there was fan interference. Nevertheless, the left-handed slugger is hitting a solid .268 with a .342 on-base percentage thanks to a 10.6 percent walk rate, while he's still putting the bat on the ball at a good clip with just a 14.9 percent strikeout rate. With nine stolen bases as well, the former third-overall draft pick can be a multi-category producer at the major league level whenever he gets the call. His time will likely come by midseason, so managers in deeper leagues should consider stashing the 21-year-old ahead of his call-up, as there aren't many prospects on the verge of a debut that can match his potential to contribute across categories.
