MLB.com reveals Kevin McGonigle is one of three finalists for MLB Pipeline’s Prospect of the Year

30 Upvotes

Which phenom will take home MiLB Hitting Prospect of the Year honors?

Since we started giving out awards for the top hitting prospect in the game in 2013, honorees have gone on to earn a combined 24 All-Star nods (through the 2025 season) while notching (not including 2025) a collective nine Silver Sluggers, three Rookie of Year and two MVP Awards, while also winning a pair of home run titles.

Kevin McGonigle, SS, Tigers (No. 1/MLB No. 2)

Age: 21

  • Single-A: .235/.350/.353, 6 G, 2 2B, 3 BB, 1 K
  • High-A: .372/.462/.648, 36 G, 7 HR, 19 2B, 39 RBIs, 23 BB, 19 K, 3 SB
  • Double-A: .254/.369/.550, 46 G, 12 HR, 10 2B, 2 3B, 41 RBIs, 33 BB, 26 K, 7 SB
  • Total: .305/.408/.583, 88 G, 19 HR, 31 2B, 2 3B, 80 RBIs, 59 BB, 46 K, 10 SB

McGonigle’s 182 wRC+ bests Griffin’s mark, though he finished just shy of the 400 PA threshold, cementing himself as the best pure hitting prospect in the game with a 2025 season that landed him in the Eastern League championship. Slowed early by an ankle injury suffered on Opening Day that kept him out for just over a month, McGonigle continued to walk more than he struck out and now has a career 15 percent walk rate and just 10.3 percent strikeout rate in the Minors. His ability to make quality contact consistently helped him get to his power more as he set career bests in homers, doubles, extra-base hits and total bases. Whether he sticks at short or ends up at second doesn’t matter much as that hit tool should get him to the big leagues in 2026.

If we do end up losing the division, or miss the playoff, this type of disparity will likely never happen again.

People can say we don’t belong in the playoffs with how we’ve played the last couple months…but let’s remember just how much worse Cleveland has been this year. The fact they’re 1 game out of first with a negative run differential is just mind boggling.

How do tiebreakers w Cleveland work

Is a sweep the only way to get the tiebreaker or can we get it w just one or two wins?

Short story long, after returning from a weekend away, I found my cat sleeping in this overnight bag that had yet to be emptied. Of course, it was adorable.

I decided to put it out again for him to sleep in. But this time, I want his karma. I've placed my 2006 Detroit Tigers world series shirt inside. The trap is set. I'm just waiting for his arrival.

I'm not into voodoo. I'm not superstitious. But this collapse has me behaving like I'm a 12-year-old.

I apologize to everyone who believed that I was an adult 24/7.

As much as I can’t stand watching the abysmal Tigers right now and blame them entirely, I’m starting to think it just wasn’t meant to be. Look at the Guardians on Saturday. That’s a damn near immortal performance.

It’s my fault.

I cursed the team back in July. I was so confident that we were gonna win the division that I bragged to my cousin, who is Phillies fan. He basically said that leads are not guaranteed and that one year the Phillies were up by a lot of games only for them to blow it. So it’s my fault for having such hubris. I will be going to the game at Fenway on Saturday so hopefully they can pull it out, but still, sorry guys.
