Detroit Tigers Top Prospects for 2026

1. Kevin McGonigle, INF, 21, 5’10”/187, AA

McGonigle is one of the two best prospects in baseball, taking a massive leap forward in what was already a successful 2024 season. In 397 plate appearances this year between High-A and Double-A, McGonigle hit 19 home runs and stole 10 bases while slashing .305/.408/.583. Not only was the performance impressive, but the underlying data stands out, too.

The contact rates are remarkably impressive, achieving an overall mark of 83 percent with an in-zone contact rate of 87 percent. The approach has been stellar throughout McGonigle’s career, with a chase rate of 20 percent. Not only does McGonigle rarely expand the zone, but he also does serious damage on pitches in the zone, having elite zone and heart swing rates.

While he may be small, McGonigle has more power than you might think. The exit velocities show that as McGonigle has reached 113 mph and 112 mph several times in his career. The 90th percentile exit velocity of 106 mph is already plus, and when you factor in the hit tool and angles, this is a special talent.

McGonigle is playing third base for the first time in his career in the Arizona Fall League. He now has the versatility to play across the infield outside of first base. While I still think McGonigle lands at second base long-term, he does have the arm and athleticism to stick on the left side of the dirt, and shortstop is not out of the realm of possibility.

FFG: High OBP 2B

90th Percentile Peak Outcome: .290/.400/22 HR/15 SB
