Clark has a lot of Tigers fans excited.
Here’s what people have been saying about him recently:
@SleeperTigers (August 14): “The Tigers are 9-3 since Max Clark debuted on July 31🔥 The rookie has been a massive spark”
Chris Castellani (August 14): “I know his last week hasn’t been great, but my concern level with Max Clark is very low. He has a tremendous feel for the strike zone. At worst, he’s gonna be a great energy you gotta have around.”
@DetroitTigersPR (August 13): “Max Clark and Kevin McGonigle both reached base safely 18+ times in their first 11 career games. Across MLB history, they’re just the second pair of teammates aged 21 or younger to do so in the same season, joining Washington’s Joe Judge and Horace Milan in 1915.”
