Kevin McGonigle, the Detroit Tigers' No. 1 prospect and 2023 supplemental first-round pick, has accelerated faster than expected. His advanced approach at the plate, consistent contact skills and improving defense have positioned him as a cornerstone-caliber middle infielder.
McGonigle hit .305 with 19 home runs, 59 walks and 46 strikeouts across 88 games in 2025, including 36 games for High-A West Michigan and 46 games for Double-A Erie. He has experience at second base and shortstop, and he's currently getting reps at third base in the Arizona Fall League. He will have the door open for him at any of those positions with the Tigers in 2026.
