This season in Triple-A with the Toledo Mud Hens, Clark is batting .276 with a .368 on-base percentage, along with 11 home runs and 42 RBI. Through July, Clark has found his stride. Clark is hitting .338 this month with five home runs and a 1.086 OPS. After his monster month at the plate, Detroit decided to bring the 21-year-old to the show. Clark is one of baseball’s most talented prospects, ranked No. 13 overall by MLB. Clark will join a Tigers team that is 51-58 on the season and is 4.5 games behind the Cleveland Guardians for the final Wild Card spot. Clark is an outfielder who primarily plays center field.
