Tigers' Kevin McGonigle: Displaying power in August
In 12 games this month for Double-A Erie, Kevin McGonigle has five home runs and a 1.082 OPS.In his first 14 games for Erie following a promotion in early July, McGonigle posted a solid .302 batting average but only went deep once. The 21-year-old has displayed increased power since the calendar flipped to August, however, with the five long balls, including four homers in his last five games. McGonigle has quickly established himself as a top-five prospect and the Detroit Tigers' shortstop of the near future, although it's unclear how aggressively he'll be pushed over the rest of the season.

Tigers' Kevin McGonigle: Acclimating well to new level
Through 11 games with Double-A Erie, Kevin McGonigle is slashing .275/.383/.475 with a home run, a stolen base and nine RBI.McGonigle was promoted from High-A West Michigan to Double-A on July 6, and he hasn't skipped a beat. The top prospect delivered two doubles for the SeaWolves on Sunday while making the start at shortstop. The Detroit Tigers are on pace for another postseason trip in 2025, so they likely won't rush McGonigle up to the majors for some development time in September. However, the 20-year-old infielder has been a fast riser through the minors, and if he keeps performing well down the stretch, McGonigle could be poised to make his MLB debut early in 2026.

Tigers' Kevin McGonigle: On fire at High-A
Kevin McGonigle is batting .382 with a 1.167 OPS, five home runs and 28 RBI across 26 games for High-A West Michigan.Before going 0-for-3 on Tuesday, McGonigle was riding a nine-game hitting streak, which included both a four-hit and a five-hit effort. The 20-year-old, who was selected with the No. 37 overall pick back in 2023, has quickly established himself as one of the best pure hitters in the minors. McGonigle has yet to appear above the High-A level and is likely still a few years away from the majors, but he's worth keeping a close eye on, particularly in dynasty formats.
