Max inspires me and I am going to work just as hard as he does He is so good looking and majestic and also so good at baseball. Like he will become the greatest of all time if he keeps up. I just want to be just like him when I grow up.
The kid is a projected round 1 pick and stayed humble and with his home school didn’t go out looking for a team he could join that’s class act kid he going places
Tigers passed on Wyatt Langford for Clark. Very risky decision. Time will tell if Clark can hit a 98 mph fastball or a 92 mph slider. I wish him the best.
All baseball draft picks are uncertain. No one knows if hitter picks are going to be able to hit big league pitching. You just make picks that seem best. Beyond that, it seems pretty obvious to me that the rule changes in MLB contributed to this pick. Clark can fly. Stolen bases are coming back pretty strongly. Plus, this pick also makes it pretty clear that the Tigers want to get Greene the hell out of CF before he kills himself. It might be too late by the time Clark arrives, but who knows. He has great tools and already has a man's physique at 18 years old. It might not be all that long. I don't mind that he has a little "flavor," but that can also make it hard to handle failures, which happen to everyone in this game. Clark wasn't a reach. He was going top 5, regardless. Some people thought he was worthy of being #1. Skenes has sort of a funky delivery... kind of throws across his body. Looks like a motion ready to cause a shoulder problem. Anyway... the other hitters Detroit might have taken don't have the speed/defense of Clark, and even though they brought the fences in, Comerica is still a pretty big park.

I see so many videos where the fields are 375 ft or less to center....I feel like everything was 400 when I was in high school. My home field was 405 center and 335 down the lines. My team would have hit so many more home runs..
Nah I think it's always been that way. Some fields are bigger and some are smaller. Most HS fields are like 350-370 dead center and 320-330 down the lines. Depends though, if you're talking about actual good high schools that have good baseball programs yeah their fields usually emulate pro level dimensions. Like my school's field was 360 dead center, 345 in the gaps, 315 to left and 325 to right. But our division rival was 415 dead center, 340 down each line and 370 in the gaps. Just depends.

He puts on a good show but I wish he’d be less cocky. I’m not even old and don’t mind the bat flips but screaming and stuff during a high school game?

I caught that, too, but I didn't go back to look... was there someone on 1st who went to 2nd on that play? And 18 year olds are imperfect... and Major League players regularly don't run hard when they should. Pretty unwise to put a ton of weight on one brain fart.
@@slyjokerg Any more excuses? Get your ass out of the box. If the guy in front of you is holding you up hold them accountable. Brain Fart? Are you fucking kidding me? Lack of effort isn't a brain fart........it's a choice.
@@slyjokerg for sure, he is good enough to not have to bust it everytime. i just know my college coach would have asked me after the game if my legs were sore lol. but yes pros play way more games than highschoolers and college. so busting it every time doesnt make sense. pretty unwise to not see that.
@@Luupheef ---> POSTED: **for sure, he is good enough to not have to bust it everytime.** No one is good enough to not bust it every time. The issue here is that you are singling him out when EVERY SINGLE PLAYER WHO HAS EVER PLAYED THE GAME (perhaps other than Pete Rose, who is still a fucking asshole as a person, but deserves to be in the HoF) has moments of brain farts, including players in MLB today. And Clark is a child just getting out of HS. It isn't warranted to shit on him for one brain fart (if it even was one... as I mentioned, it might have even been that he couldn't go to second on that play... plus, it wasn't like the ball was dropped at the OF warning track). **i just know my college coach would have asked me after the game if my legs were sore lol.** I know what you are saying, and like I noted, it crossed my mind as well, but those are learning moments, not things about which to go ape shit about regarding an 18 year old. **but yes pros play way more games than highschoolers and college. so busting it every time doesnt make sense. pretty unwise to not see that.** There is zero excuse to not bust it every time at every level. Being in college or pro baseball, minors or MLB, is no more excuse to not bust it every time, no matter what, than should be expected of every HS player. The only time a exception might be made is if a player is playing hurt, such as having a tender hamstring, but in my opinion, as a general rule, if you are not able to go all out every minute, then you probably shouldn't be in the lineup. Pinch hitting is a bit of separate topic. Busting your ass is the one thing that you can control 100% of the time. Like I alluded to before, Pete Rose and Dennis Rodman might be crazy dickheads, but they should be models for how to play a sport. I used to watch Gary Sheffield dog it down to first base, running out ground balls, and I would get disgusted. He is hardly the only one. (There used to be an exclusion for pitchers who were batting not busting their ass, but that isn't a thing anymore in pro ball.)
No one is a sure thing, but this kid has a ton of talent. You are pretty clearly just hating. Is it because he is cocky... you don't like the Tigers... ?????
@@perfect1150 ---> POSTED: **Yes he has a ton of talent against high school aged players...** As you did in another thread, you are exposing ignorance and naivety. 1. Yes, he is playing high school players. That is because he is high school. 2. Displaying a ton of talent is displaying a ton of talent. The opponent isn't relevant. If you have a sweet swing, then you have a sweet swing. If you can run like the wind, then you can run like the wind. If you have a great arm, then you have a great arm. If you have outstanding fielding skills, then you do. The level at which you have those things isn't pertinent to having those abilities. 3. You have offered the implied premise that no high school age players should be drafted before any college age players, since high school age players are playing against high school age players. That is one of the dumbest ideas I have ever seen/heard anyone even imply regarding sports. **....we'll see how he does in the real world of baseball** 1. He has already been in the "real world of baseball." It is called, "playing baseball." That is how the scouts know he is at least "plus" in 4 of the 5 categories that scouts grade. 2. RIGHT!!!!!!! We will see how EVERY PICK in EVERY DRAFT pans out. Nothing about saying "We will see how he does" applies to Clark any more than it does to anyone else.
@@slyjokerg How long did it take you to figure out how to use the words "ignorance" and "naivety"? Good job using AI. "The opponent doesn't matter"...that has to be the dumbest comment ever made. Of course the opponent matters. Just because you have a sweet swing that works at the high school level doesn't mean it will work at any other level. Unlike running speed, or arm strength....they translate to every level. Hitting, hitting with power, and fielding absolutely depend on the opponent and their level. If you want to piss away millions of dollars on an unproven, overhyped high school player that's your choice. High school baseball is not the real world of baseball. Hitting 80 pus at the high school level is not the real world. Take the 95+ with movement, then back that up with 85 off speed and able to locate.....field the ball hit 95 MPH back at you....that's the real world. Scouts can't see the future. Great..he's a "plus" in 4 of the 5 categories....we'll see how "plus" he is when the pressure is on. I am curious which one of the categories he's not a "plus" in. Oh "we'll see how he does" definitely applies to Clark more than anyone drafted below him. And we wonder why the Tigers haven't been in the playoffs since 2014 coming from a soft division.
I’m sure those plays you saw him running to first with no effort, is where he knew that’s all he was going to get. This kid is fast and saw him hustling to first a few times in this video when he didn’t need to
I’m really interested in seeing this kids career play out. Looking at him I’m concerned about his frame. His lower half looks entirely filled out to me and I could see him getting too thick as he develops and it really takes away from his speed/agility/explosiveness/mobility and it affects his overall athleticism to play defense and steal bases. I feel like if I did a player comp on good side I see him being similar to an Andrew benintidi or Alex verdugo type player. On the bad side I could see him being like a Clint Frazier type player. Time will tell.
i could easily seeing this dude be a career quad a to triple a player and a waste of a first round pick or the next mike trout but stuck on the tigers going no where
4:47 To Much of a Hassle. Will be the Friend that Sleep with your girlfriend. When your playing ball somewhere. An she sad lonely. Hassle boy is fill with hate jealous an you should not keep him around any more
Baseball is more of an acceleration sport rather than top speed. Longer legs will mean he will take longer to reach his top speed rather than being able to accelerate faster to the next bag
@@slyjokerg like I said, he’s obviously very talented and should do well at the next level, I just wouldn’t expect him to be one of the best players in the nation
@@HBK360MUSIC Well, when you are drafted #3, there is some sort of expectation that you may very well be one of the best players... at the very least., more of a chance that pretty much everyone else in the draft.
You probably should look up more videos because this one is not a good one. He's a very great hitter, he's fast, defense is really good plus he has a very strong arm. He can throw low to mid 90s but plays center field. You made that comment and I can assure you that if you two were the same age right now playing ball you wouldn't do 1% of what he does.
@@jj-zc3ys He looks like an above average player in the highlights honestly they do him zero justice. I really don't think it was sarcasm. I've seen much better highlights that show why he's such a talented player and huge prospect. This isn't it.
1. Under your implied premise, all HS kids are lesser prospects than college kids, since they are only going against other HS kids. That is laughably naive, frankly. 2. Langford is 3yrs older than Clark and their skills are fairly comparable. 3. Clark has a man's body at 18 years old, and there is every reason to believe he is going to only get stronger. He can already run like the wind. 4. Clark is a no doubt about it CF, which the Tigers need to fill long term, as Greene is not going to stick there. He can play it, but he is there by default right now. If Detroit had another bona fide, regular CF, Greene would be playing a corner spot. Too much wear and tear for him in CF. He is already getting hurt and he has a "no let up" style of play. 5. It would be "should HAVE," not "should OF." If you are going to try to come off as especially bright and knowledgeable, you might want to learn basic grammar.
@@slyjokerg Clark has a hype team surrounding him which is massively overhyping his value. None of his HS stats mean anything at all until he rakes at the AAA level. I wish him the best but his cockiness is ridiculous...like you're raking against HS kids...congrats want a cookie?
@@zethmox ---> POSTED: **Clark has a hype team surrounding him which is massively overhyping his value.** 1. "Overhyping his value..." according to you. 2. Gee, the 54 billion scouts that do this for a living have never come across any prospect having a "hype team," and there is no way any of them could ever see through a "hype team" falsely portraying a prospects talent. It isn't like the scouts every see for themselves what a prospects abilities are. LOL **None of his HS stats mean anything at all until he rakes at the AAA level.** 1. I never offered a single syllable about his HS stats. 2. HS stats are symbolic of a player's ability, but they are by no means anything close to being the only gauge by which scouts rate players. Not even close. 3. Why you think AAA is the only level by which a player's progression matters, I have no idea. LOL. Sorry, but you are clearly a novice who doesn't know anything about any of this. **I wish him the best but his cockiness is ridiculous...like you're raking against HS kids...congrats want a cookie?** 1. LOTS and LOTS and LOTS and LOTS of HS kids behave in exactly the same way. You are highly ignorant and naive about all of this. 2. "Cockiness" has no bearing on talent. However, it is actually often seen as a plus by scouts when a player is "cocky." It shows confidence. There has been an endless river of extremely talented kids who have never amounted to anything because they couldn't summon the confidence that is required to succeed in this game. 3. Raking against high school kids is viewed for what it is. Every scout who graded him inherently took into account that is quite obviously a HS player. That happens for a bazillion prospects in every draft. It is no different for Clark.
@@zethmoxlmao what a fucking joke. Did you even think about this before you posted? You couldn’t even sniff Clark’s stats, even as a high schooler💀 you really think you know better than a professional scout that gets paid to analyze his potential?

Joey Wentz was not even drafted by the Tigers much less a first round pick. He was an Atlanta 2nd round draft pick traded to the Tigers in 2019.
Hope he can stay drug and stress free
He kinda mid tho compared to other number 1 guys in seasons past
That’s a really good point
And he went 3rd overall* (highest highschool player in the draft)
Not taking two on missed pop up. Yikes.
I caught that, too, but I didn't go back to look... was there someone on 1st who went to 2nd on that play? And 18 year olds are imperfect... and Major League players regularly don't run hard when they should. Pretty unwise to put a ton of weight on one brain fart.
@@slyjokerg Any more excuses? Get your ass out of the box. If the guy in front of you is holding you up hold them accountable. Brain Fart? Are you fucking kidding me? Lack of effort isn't a brain fart........it's a choice.
@@slyjokerg for sure, he is good enough to not have to bust it everytime. i just know my college coach would have asked me after the game if my legs were sore lol. but yes pros play way more games than highschoolers and college. so busting it every time doesnt make sense. pretty unwise to not see that.
@@Luupheef ---> POSTED: **for sure, he is good enough to not have to bust it everytime.**
No one is good enough to not bust it every time. The issue here is that you are singling him out when EVERY SINGLE PLAYER WHO HAS EVER PLAYED THE GAME (perhaps other than Pete Rose, who is still a fucking asshole as a person, but deserves to be in the HoF) has moments of brain farts, including players in MLB today. And Clark is a child just getting out of HS. It isn't warranted to shit on him for one brain fart (if it even was one... as I mentioned, it might have even been that he couldn't go to second on that play... plus, it wasn't like the ball was dropped at the OF warning track).
**i just know my college coach would have asked me after the game if my legs were sore lol.**
I know what you are saying, and like I noted, it crossed my mind as well, but those are learning moments, not things about which to go ape shit about regarding an 18 year old.
**but yes pros play way more games than highschoolers and college. so busting it every time doesnt make sense. pretty unwise to not see that.**
There is zero excuse to not bust it every time at every level. Being in college or pro baseball, minors or MLB, is no more excuse to not bust it every time, no matter what, than should be expected of every HS player. The only time a exception might be made is if a player is playing hurt, such as having a tender hamstring, but in my opinion, as a general rule, if you are not able to go all out every minute, then you probably shouldn't be in the lineup. Pinch hitting is a bit of separate topic. Busting your ass is the one thing that you can control 100% of the time. Like I alluded to before, Pete Rose and Dennis Rodman might be crazy dickheads, but they should be models for how to play a sport. I used to watch Gary Sheffield dog it down to first base, running out ground balls, and I would get disgusted. He is hardly the only one.
(There used to be an exclusion for pitchers who were batting not busting their ass, but that isn't a thing anymore in pro ball.)
I don’t think he has enough necklaces on
Get it!!!
These are highlights! Wow this guy is definitely overhyped . He’ll never get out of the minors
No one is a sure thing, but this kid has a ton of talent. You are pretty clearly just hating. Is it because he is cocky... you don't like the Tigers... ?????
@@slyjokerg Yes he has a ton of talent against high school aged players.........we'll see how he does in the real world of baseball
@@perfect1150 ---> POSTED: **Yes he has a ton of talent against high school aged players...**
As you did in another thread, you are exposing ignorance and naivety.
1. Yes, he is playing high school players. That is because he is high school.
2. Displaying a ton of talent is displaying a ton of talent. The opponent isn't relevant. If you have a sweet swing, then you have a sweet swing. If you can run like the wind, then you can run like the wind. If you have a great arm, then you have a great arm. If you have outstanding fielding skills, then you do. The level at which you have those things isn't pertinent to having those abilities.
3. You have offered the implied premise that no high school age players should be drafted before any college age players, since high school age players are playing against high school age players. That is one of the dumbest ideas I have ever seen/heard anyone even imply regarding sports.
**....we'll see how he does in the real world of baseball**
1. He has already been in the "real world of baseball." It is called, "playing baseball." That is how the scouts know he is at least "plus" in 4 of the 5 categories that scouts grade.
2. RIGHT!!!!!!! We will see how EVERY PICK in EVERY DRAFT pans out. Nothing about saying "We will see how he does" applies to Clark any more than it does to anyone else.
@@slyjokerg How long did it take you to figure out how to use the words "ignorance" and "naivety"? Good job using AI.
"The opponent doesn't matter"...that has to be the dumbest comment ever made. Of course the opponent matters.
Just because you have a sweet swing that works at the high school level doesn't mean it will work at any other level. Unlike running speed, or arm strength....they translate to every level. Hitting, hitting with power, and fielding absolutely depend on the opponent and their level.
If you want to piss away millions of dollars on an unproven, overhyped high school player that's your choice.
High school baseball is not the real world of baseball. Hitting 80 pus at the high school level is not the real world. Take the 95+ with movement, then back that up with 85 off speed and able to locate.....field the ball hit 95 MPH back at you....that's the real world. Scouts can't see the future. Great..he's a "plus" in 4 of the 5 categories....we'll see how "plus" he is when the pressure is on. I am curious which one of the categories he's not a "plus" in.
Oh "we'll see how he does" definitely applies to Clark more than anyone drafted below him. And we wonder why the Tigers haven't been in the playoffs since 2014 coming from a soft division.
Lol tigers picked up a kid that can’t run to first with any effort. Love it
Can you help me understand why these kids are acting like complete asshats?
I’m sure those plays you saw him running to first with no effort, is where he knew that’s all he was going to get. This kid is fast and saw him hustling to first a few times in this video when he didn’t need to
Them tight ass pants , The boy out on the diamond with a yeast infection from them xtra smediums
is Max Clark the next bryce harper?
Lmao these comments are wild!
I’m really interested in seeing this kids career play out. Looking at him I’m concerned about his frame. His lower half looks entirely filled out to me and I could see him getting too thick as he develops and it really takes away from his speed/agility/explosiveness/mobility and it affects his overall athleticism to play defense and steal bases. I feel like if I did a player comp on good side I see him being similar to an Andrew benintidi or Alex verdugo type player. On the bad side I could see him being like a Clint Frazier type player. Time will tell.
are you a scout, you sound smart
i could easily seeing this dude be a career quad a to triple a player and a waste of a first round pick or the next mike trout but stuck on the tigers going no where
Like the Angles
4:47 To Much of a Hassle. Will be the Friend that Sleep with your girlfriend. When your playing ball somewhere. An she sad lonely. Hassle boy is fill with hate jealous an you should not keep him around any more
Bro needs looser pants and a longer stride while running and he’d be killer fast
He is killer fast
Baseball is more of an acceleration sport rather than top speed. Longer legs will mean he will take longer to reach his top speed rather than being able to accelerate faster to the next bag
I’ve gotta be honest, I don’t see anything that special in this kids swing haha. Obviously a great ball player, but third best prospect in the world?
What's not to like? Smooth... no hitch... no holes... balanced... can go the opposite way... What's the issue?
@@slyjokerg like I said, he’s obviously very talented and should do well at the next level, I just wouldn’t expect him to be one of the best players in the nation
@@HBK360MUSIC Well, when you are drafted #3, there is some sort of expectation that you may very well be one of the best players... at the very least., more of a chance that pretty much everyone else in the draft.
How was he average🎉😢😅
.450
Nah… not league ready tbh.
He's a fooking kid bruh. How often is anyone in HS league ready? Once every 5-10 years? Give him 3 years in the minors and he will be ready.
LOL. He's 18. Of course he isn't MLB ready, ffs. LMAO
looks like an average player
You probably should look up more videos because this one is not a good one. He's a very great hitter, he's fast, defense is really good plus he has a very strong arm. He can throw low to mid 90s but plays center field. You made that comment and I can assure you that if you two were the same age right now playing ball you wouldn't do 1% of what he does.
@@donniefaust2763 he was being sarcastic🤣
@@donniefaust2763 we all know he not average
@@jj-zc3ys He looks like an above average player in the highlights honestly they do him zero justice. I really don't think it was sarcasm. I've seen much better highlights that show why he's such a talented player and huge prospect. This isn't it.
@@donniefaust2763, we get it. You have a cardboard cutout of him with a hole in the mouth.

Good but not project #1
Bro needs to stop walking

Do u mean hustle?
Like 4 balls?
Wdym
Most of them are intentional.........
Hitting off Indiana high school kids, hope the best. Tigers should of taken Wyatt Langford.
1. Under your implied premise, all HS kids are lesser prospects than college kids, since they are only going against other HS kids. That is laughably naive, frankly.
2. Langford is 3yrs older than Clark and their skills are fairly comparable.
3. Clark has a man's body at 18 years old, and there is every reason to believe he is going to only get stronger. He can already run like the wind.
4. Clark is a no doubt about it CF, which the Tigers need to fill long term, as Greene is not going to stick there. He can play it, but he is there by default right now. If Detroit had another bona fide, regular CF, Greene would be playing a corner spot. Too much wear and tear for him in CF. He is already getting hurt and he has a "no let up" style of play.
5. It would be "should HAVE," not "should OF." If you are going to try to come off as especially bright and knowledgeable, you might want to learn basic grammar.
@@slyjokerg Clark has a hype team surrounding him which is massively overhyping his value. None of his HS stats mean anything at all until he rakes at the AAA level. I wish him the best but his cockiness is ridiculous...like you're raking against HS kids...congrats want a cookie?
@@zethmox ---> POSTED: **Clark has a hype team surrounding him which is massively overhyping his value.**
1. "Overhyping his value..." according to you.
2. Gee, the 54 billion scouts that do this for a living have never come across any prospect having a "hype team," and there is no way any of them could ever see through a "hype team" falsely portraying a prospects talent. It isn't like the scouts every see for themselves what a prospects abilities are. LOL
**None of his HS stats mean anything at all until he rakes at the AAA level.**
1. I never offered a single syllable about his HS stats.
2. HS stats are symbolic of a player's ability, but they are by no means anything close to being the only gauge by which scouts rate players. Not even close.
3. Why you think AAA is the only level by which a player's progression matters, I have no idea. LOL. Sorry, but you are clearly a novice who doesn't know anything about any of this.
**I wish him the best but his cockiness is ridiculous...like you're raking against HS kids...congrats want a cookie?**
1. LOTS and LOTS and LOTS and LOTS of HS kids behave in exactly the same way. You are highly ignorant and naive about all of this.
2. "Cockiness" has no bearing on talent. However, it is actually often seen as a plus by scouts when a player is "cocky." It shows confidence. There has been an endless river of extremely talented kids who have never amounted to anything because they couldn't summon the confidence that is required to succeed in this game.
3. Raking against high school kids is viewed for what it is. Every scout who graded him inherently took into account that is quite obviously a HS player. That happens for a bazillion prospects in every draft. It is no different for Clark.
@@zethmoxlmao what a fucking joke. Did you even think about this before you posted? You couldn’t even sniff Clark’s stats, even as a high schooler💀 you really think you know better than a professional scout that gets paid to analyze his potential?
@@zethmoxlike seriously, tell me with a straight face that you think all the scouts in the MLB just watched his highlights on tik tok and TH-cam and said “yeah, he’s good.”
Jesus kid wears 52 necklaces.
Catcher shoulda shook his hand. We see it every time! You disrespect the guy trying to be nice... he's going to make you regret it!
As expected, Max is an average player in pro ball. He's not getting any bigger or stronger. Social media hyped him up.

LOL. You might as well have said you are Shaquille O'Neal and that you have been a scout since 1492. No scout who has ever lived would summarily dismiss a player's talent based on a subjective "showboat" personality. Not once, not ever. It is laughable that you say something so stupid and such a transparent lie.
Boy got a mouth on him already chirping at the other team like that when you’re #3 overall come on now you’re better than that
Bro what...😂😂😂.. yeah #3...overall... in the mlb draft... of hundreds and even more who didn't get picked...what are you talking about lol this kids been around for years and doing good. He deserves to chirp because he's good... he went 3 over all lol ... which means he's been good... obviously... what does your comment even mean 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 cus yeah.. he's been good...and he's had the same routine for Years.... id be chirping and showing off every AB when I'm thst good 😂
Ok this kid can rake lol
Zero speed
This kid is a ego lol
He’s gonna be a bust
Seems arrogant and annoying.
Looks below average
This kid is cringy with these celebrations after every hit
JMHO but this kid is all about the looks.......eye black all the way down his face.....pimping shit hit off high school pitchers....taking this kid right out of high school and thinking his skills will translate to the MLB seems very risky.....this kid makes me think of Billy Bean in Moneyball and the movie Trouble with the Curve....
I agree with you but all prospects start off in minor league. Aaron Judge was in the minors for 3 years. So they aren't really risking too much.
@@zethmox I'm not sure what his signing bonus was but I'm sure it's a lot......so they are risking a lot but not to them.
Premadonna!
This is what they teach and what's accepted these days in HS with these youngsters. Being humble isn't cool anymore apparently.
That's just one more of the many things Dylan Crews has over this kid. Crews just won a CWS and had big hits in big moments and you still never seen him showboat like this.
