How big is the ceiling for the Detroit Tigers' top prospect?

The Detroit Tigers are already the best team in the MLB right now. 

And the fact that they are as good as they are now with the young team they have should spit fear into the hearts of the other 29 teams in the league.

Riley Greene is playing at his highest level, Tarik Skubal is in the perfect spot to repeat as AL Cy Young recipient, and Gleyber Torres and Javier Baez are enjoying some nice career resurgence in the Motor City. 

But there's still one more player that the Tigers and fans are waiting to see bloom, and that is the team's current top prospect, center fielder Max Clark. 

Clark, who was the third overall pick in the 2023 MLB Draft, roused many with his play in the MLB Futures Game in Atlanta, where many of the top prospects amongst all 30 teams come together and play during the All-Star week. 

With a 3.89-second sprint to first base, Clark's notorious speed was well on display during the game. 

And according to The Athletic's Keith Law, Clark just needs to tweak one tool of his playing to be a true star in the majors, a tool that is very much needed in today's offensive-heavy contests. 

"I saw him and Kevin McGonigle on Thursday, and I don't think there should be any concerns about Clark's speed or his defense in center," Law wrote. "I still think he's going to be a star once the power comes." 

For a guy like Clark, it is difficult to find that combination of speed and power that we've seen in recent times with players like Ronald Acuna Jr., Elly De La Cruz, and especially last year with Shohei Ohtani inventing the 50-homer/50-stolen base club on his way to his third MVP award. 

Clark's power has definitely lacked so far in his pro days up to this point, only 19 balls hit over the fence by the young prospect, but his eight homers this year are nearly equal to the nine he hit in the minors last year, showing much promise as he continues to trend towards getting the call up from the Tigers' front office.
