Tigers top prospect gets World Series media moment after support for Detroit's run

Major League Baseball is adding some fresh faces to its social media coverage of the World Series this year, including one that is near and dear to the hearts of Detroit Tigers fans.

In addition to Atlanta Braves infielder Ozzie Albies, Oakland A’s slugger Brent Rooker and San Diego Padres batting champion Luis Arráez, Tigers outfield prospect Max Clark will serve as a live social correspondent at the 2024 Fall Classic.

Per Brian Murphy of MLB.com, "Clark will take fans on an exclusive behind-the-scenes journey through Game 2 at Dodger Stadium on Saturday, engaging with players and fans and giving us a glimpse of some of the best food at the ballpark."

Clark proved to be a natural at creating engaging content on social media during the Tigers' magical 2024 stretch run that saw them clinch their first playoff berth in 10 years. He was dialed in during the Tigers' four-game series sweep of the Tampa Bay Rays at the end of September, posting during the games and even engaging with fans, the Tigers team account and TV play-by-play announcer Jason Benetti.

Now, even though the Tigers are out of the postseason, Detroit fans will still get to see one of their team's future stars taking social media by storm during the World Series.

Tigers prospect Max Clark impressed in first full pro season in 2024

Clark, the Tigers' No. 2 prospect and the No. 6 prospect in all of baseball according to MLB Pipeline, has been just as electric on the field as he has been off of it. Selected at No. 3 overall in the 2023 MLB Draft, Clark just wrapped up his first full professional season with a slash line of .279/.372/.421 across two levels of the Tigers' system.

Clark slashed .286/.386/.421 with seven home runs, three triples and 11 doubles over 73 games for Single-A Lakeland before being promoted to High-A West Michigan, where he finished his season hitting .264/.344/.421 with 10 doubles, three triples and a pair of homers in 34 games. He also dazzled with his impressive speed, swiping 29 bases.

The 19-year-old, who was named Detroit's Minor League Player of the Year for 2024 by Baseball America, is projected to crack the MLB roster in 2026, though he could be patrolling the Tigers' outfield as early as 2025. Imagine the three-headed monster he would form with Parker Meadows and Riley Greene? It's safe to say the future is looking awfully bright in Detroit.

And Tigers fans can get a little taste of it by tuning into Game 2 of the World Series between the Yankees and Dodgers.
