Max Clark was selected No. 3 in the 2023 MLB Draft, and was recently promoted to Double-A by the Detroit Tigers.Max Clark wasted no time by creating the first highlight of the MLB All-Star Futures Game by using his wheels in the Atlanta heat.
The former Franklin baseball star and social media sensation is already rising through the Detroit Tigers system, promoted to Double-A Erie on July 7. He led off Saturday’s Futures Game for the American League with a seven-pitch walk, taking a 2-2 changeup and then full-count curveball from JR Ritchie.
Clark further frustrated Ritchie by taking off as he came set, and swiped second to give the A.L. an immediate scoring threat with one out.
Baseball’s No. 12 prospect, per MLB.com, and the No. 3 pick in the 2023 MLB Draft further showcased his speed with a ground ball to the right side of the infield, which reportedly took him 4.03 seconds to sprint from the left-handed batter’s box to first base. It was just one of three hits for the A.L. in a 4-2 loss to the N.L.
Detroit Tigers prospect Max Clark promoted to Double-A Erie
Clark spent his first 68 games of the 2025 seasons with High-A West Michigan. He hit .285 with an .857 OPS, drawing 65 walks to go with seven home runs, 47 RBIs, 12 doubles and two triples. He was 12-for-14 when attempting to steal.
That was enough for the Tigers to promote the 20-year-old to Double-A Erie, where he’s played three games and is 2-for-11 with a solo home run. He also was promoted with fellow top prospect Kevin McGonigle and Josue Briceno.

Manning High School is celebrating a year of achievement, marked by improved academic performance, increased college and career readiness, and notable accomplishments in athletics and extracurriculars. The school’s 2024–2025 School Improvement Council Annual Report to the People, released this week, showcases a significant upward trend in key performance metrics, highlighting that Manning is well on its way to achieving an “Excellent” rating from the South Carolina Department of Education.
“We are nearing our goal and remain dedicated to a cycle of continuous improvement,” Principal Dr. Kelvin Lemon said in the report. “Our focus for growth lies in enhancing our students’ performance on the End of Course Exams.”
The report highlights a steady climb on the state’s Annual School Report Card. Manning’s absolute rating rose from 47 in 2022 to 51 in 2023 and now stands at 58—just two points away from a “Good” rating and nine points from “Excellent.” An absolute rating of 60 is required for the “Good” designation, while 67 secures “Excellent.”
Among the academic highlights, Manning High School’s Class of 2024 posted a record-breaking 92.3% graduation rate—the highest since the state began issuing report cards in 2001. Additionally, 71.6% of graduates were identified as college or career ready, well above the state average, earning the school another “Good” rating in this category.
Students also showed strong performance on End of Course Exams (EOCEP) with notable increases from 2022 to 2024. English EOCEP scores improved by 16.7%, Algebra by 26.7%, Biology by 27.9%, and U.S. History by 5.3%. Twenty students achieved a perfect score of 100 and were awarded $100 Visa gift cards through an incentive program funded by Wal-Mart of Manning.
The report also notes that 85% of students in the “all students” category and 82.5% of first-year students were considered “on track for graduation,” earning additional “Good” ratings.
Outside the classroom, Manning High students excelled in a wide range of extracurricular activities. The Golden Pride Band earned awards across all categories and placed 4th overall at the State Finals. The Academic Challenge Team finished 3rd in the region, and the school won the MUSC Boeing Center’s District Wellness Award. The Student Council was recognized as a Silver Council at the state convention, and the FFA Conduct of Chapter Meeting Team won the state title and advanced to nationals.
Athletics saw postseason success across multiple sports. The Varsity Football Team advanced to the Lower State Championship Game, with players also participating in the Shrine Bowl of the Carolinas. The Wrestling Team had three individual state qualifiers and placed 3rd at Region. The Track & Field and Cross Country teams each had athletes qualify for state meets, and the Soccer Team reached the playoffs.
The Class of 2025 has already earned admission to 299 colleges, universities, and military branches, collectively receiving more than $3.1 million in scholarship offers.
As the school continues its journey to “Watch Achievement Rise,” Dr. Lemon expressed pride in the progress made and optimism for the future. “By 2030, we aim for at least 70 percent of our students to achieve a grade of ‘C’ or higher in all subjects,” he said.
With gains across academics, extracurriculars, and student achievement, Manning High School is showing that Monarchs are indeed on the move.

Wow. Yeah that’s pretty cool.
And with one more season to go chase some goals and get better! #NSGB https://t.co/TOkoh9Q2Km pic.twitter.com/FaXkgxbcJz
— Jackson Cantwell (@jcantwell2499) July 10, 2025
Measuring an imposing 6-foot-8 and 325 pounds, Cantwell boasts 33.5-inch arms and explosive strength off the snap. He stormed through his junior season with 158 pancake blocks across 14 games (averages nearly 11 per game) helping his Nixa High offensive line pave the way for 3,710 total rushing yards.
Cantwell’s dominance extends into track and field as he claimed back-to-back Missouri Shot Put state titles, led the nation in distance among high school throwers as a junior, and was honored as Gatorade Missouri Boys Track & Field Player of the Year. His pedigree is unmistakable as his father, Christian Cantwell, is a five-time world champion and Olympic shot-put silver medalist, while his mother, Teri Steer Cantwell, competed in the Sydney Olympics.
MaxPreps also gave Cantwell its top national male-athlete award for 2024–25. Here’s what Kevin Askeland said about Cantwell:
“Although he still has a year left in high school, Cantwell has already snagged MaxPreps Male Athlete of the Year honors. During the 2024-25 year, he earned state MVP honors in football as an offensive and defensive lineman and had the nation’s best mark in the shot put.”
Kevin Askeland
Recruiting services back the hype with Rivals, 247Sports, and On3 all putting Cantwell as the nation’s number‑one prospect for 2026. The list includes legends at the high school level and beyond. LeBron James of St. Vincent St. Mary in Akron, Ohio checked in a No. 1 on the list. The rest of the top 10 goes as follows:
2. Patrick Mahomes
3. Kyler Murray
4. Derrick Henry
5. Joe Mauer
6. Terrelle Pryor
7. Greg Oden
8. Elena Delle Donne
9. Missy Franklin
10. Candace Parker
