The Dawgs just added another game-changer to the family.

Max Clark highlights, stats today, MLB Futures Game, Detroit Tigers prospect


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.
