Rest-of-Season Projections
2024 Fantasy Outlook
Clark was widely considered one of five elite real-life prospects at the top of last year's draft, but after everyone's pro debuts, he isn't an elite first-year player draft target in dynasty leagues relative to the other four prospects in that consensus top five. A 70-grade runner with elite defensive tools and a hit tool that got 70-grade projections by some scouts when he was an amateur, Clark's power is his one tool that lags behind. He slashed .224/.383/.377 with two home runs, five steals, a 19.6 percent walk rate and a 23.4 percent strikeout rate in 23 games split evenly between the Florida Complex League and Single-A. Meanwhile, the two outfielders selected directly behind him, Wyatt Langford and Walker Jenkins put up video game numbers at every level they played at. There's nothing overly concerning about Clark's plate discipline, but it's still to be determined how much of an impact he'll make and whether he will hit for a very high average or just post high OBPs via a selective approach. Clark figures to have a long, productive big-league career, but he probably needs to be a speed maven to turn into a fantasy difference maker. Read Past Outlooks
Promoted to High-A
Clark was promoted to High-A West Michigan on Sunday, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports.
ANALYSIS
Clark will take a step up to High-A after he produced a .279 average with six home runs, 56 RBI, 52 runs scored and 25 stolen bases over 276 at-bats in 72 games with Single-A Lakeland this season. The 19-year-old was selected third overall in the 2023 First-Year Player Draft, but unlike Paul Skenes, who went first overall, Clark will likely need to slowly work his way up the minor-league levels before making his major-league debut in the distant future.
