If there's a name Detroit Tigers fans need to know heading into 2026, it's that of top prospect Kevin McGonigle. The newly-minted 21-year-old might be the best hitter in the minor leagues and currently ranks as the No. 2 overall prospect in all of baseball.
McGonigle rose quickly through the ranks last season, spending six games at Single-A Lakeland before quickly being promoted to High-A West Michigan, where he'd spent 36 games, before finally landing at Double-A Erie for his final 46 contests.
At every level he raked, posting a combined line of .305/.408/.583 while walking more than he struck out.
