Max works hard and grinds. And competes. That's not just talk.
"It's a city where everyone works hard, grinds and wants to come together as one big city. I feel like I have that in my game..." @maxxclarkk13 shares why his play style is a fit in Detroit 🐯

I wish my TV had this view. I have a tough time seeing #91 from the side camera. Nice stop, Blake!

For Max Clark fans and friends, this is a fun watch. A reminder of two months of excellence by this young man. MiLb.com and MLB.com were a real bargain this year. Please no strike!

Blake Smythe in some pretty rarified air. A true frosh excelling among more experienced guys too.

DAZN worked great for me and for most making comments. Sorry Etan had issues. That's not pleasant especially when the game was so entertaining.

My vision isn't the best and it's hard to see player's numbers from the side camera angle but I'm sure I saw Blake Smythe crash through and sack the Rutgers QB tonight. Go Blake!

The man knows the strike zone.
Only 5 hitters this season went 100% on ABS challenges (min 3 attempts) Max Clark was one of them.

I'll give Scott Harris this: "the prospects are coming" is a tired phrase front-office people have used to buy time forever, and it almost never pans out. But it carries a bit more weight when your first wave of prospects included McGonigle, Dingler, Valencia, Melton and Clark.
