In Saturday’s Detroit Tigers opener against the New York Yankees, the Tigers’ No. 2 overall prospect turned a routine ground ball into a hit by simply outrunning the defense. Clark legged out an infield single in his second at-bat, showcasing the elite athleticism that has made him one of the most exciting young players in the organization.
The play was a reminder that Clark doesn’t need to drive the ball over the fence to impact a game. His speed, instincts, and nonstop energy immediately pressure opposing defenses, even in early spring training action.
