Game on the line, Tigers' No. 2 prospect comes up clutch vs. former teammate LAKELAND, Fla. -- The late innings of a Spring Training game can become an intersection of small sample sizes. On one side, top prospects might be trying to make an impression with the at-bats they ge...

It’s the ninth inning of a Grapefruit League game, but with two outs and the tying run on 3B, it’s a big moment for Max Clark.

β€œOh, I feel adrenaline regardless. It's a big spot. I want the moment. I mean, you guys can tell that. So it was nice to go out there and complete the job.”

Ben Malgeri, Detroit Tigers prospect (#214 Overall, #7 DET). Career probabilities: 16% Contributor, 16% Regular, 2% Star. Relative Stats (standard deviations from league average, compared to Alfredo Silverio 2011): Dev Spd -0.42, Disc -0.40, Avoid K +0.12, Contact +0.97, Gap Pwr +1.91 (strongest skill), HR Pwr +0.24, Lift +0.34. Career Outcome Probabilities chart shows horizontal bars for achieving different Prime WAR per season levels (0-5 WAR), with highest probability at Contributor level (0-1 WAR, ~50%), declining through Regular (~30% at 1-2 WAR) and Star levels (minimal at 3+ WAR). Green confidence meter shown at bottom.

Thanks again to @tigersmlreport.bsky.social for having us on their pod! Malgeri is the prototypical Oyster sleeper. Totally off the radar for most, his solid hitting profile and positional upside give him an outside chance at a utility role. Watch out for his sneaky gap power!

Cruz one step away from being third-generation big leaguer Trei Cruz had just finished a workout last week and was headed back home when his phone started buzzing. The call was from Tigers vice president Ryan Garko, who in his role overseeing player developme...

Trei Cruz grew up the son of a Gold Glove outfielder and grandson of an Astros Hall of Famer. But the do-everything Tigers prospect has forged his own path towards potentially becoming a third-generation Major Leaguer next season. That path hasn't been easy.
