Kevin McGonigle Fantasy Stats

The plan is for the Detroit Tigers to promote their top prospect, shortstop Kevin McGonigle, next season, and the Detroit Free Press' Evan Petzold writes that a "midsummer promotion makes the most sense." The 21-year-old hasn't played above Double-A Erie in the minors, but he's coming soon, and fantasy managers need to take notice. "I expect the players that posted dominant years in Double-A to factor into our big-league team next year," president of baseball operations Scott Harris said. McGonigle ranks second overall on MLB Pipeline's top-100 list going into next season. While nothing is official yet, McGonigle is expected to be in big-league camp during spring training after hitting .305 with 19 home runs, 59 walks, and 46 strikeouts in 88 games with Erie and High-A West Michigan in 2025. At Erie, McGonigle hit .254 with 12 homers, 33 walks, and 26 K's in 46 games, posting a .919 OPS. The Tigers are in win-now mode, so as long as McGonigle is performing in the minors early in 2026, he should make his big-league debut sooner rather than later.

Detroit Tigers infield prospect Kevin McGonigle helped Double-A Erie to victory in Game 1 of the best-of-three Eastern League Championship series. The Tigers' top-ranked prospect went 3-for-5 with a triple, a home run, two RBI, and three runs scored for the SeaWolves. It has been an impressive season for the 21-year-old, who missed a month and a half of action at the beginning of the year due to injury, but put together a strong showing at High-A that earned a promotion to Double-A. The left-handed slugger hit .254 with 12 home runs and seven steals in 46 games for Erie, and tallied more walks (33) than strikeouts (26) at that level. He'll participate in the Arizona Fall League that begins in October, and with his advanced approach, he could see a big league debut sometime next year.

Detroit Tigers infield prospect Kevin McGonigle highlights a crew of seven that the team will send to the Arizona Fall League (AFL) in October, playing for the Scottsdale Scorpions. The Tigers' top-ranked prospect (MLB No. 2) seemingly cruised through the regular season, slashing .301/.408/.566 in 84 games across various levels, but lost in all that could be that he missed a lot of time in 2024 due to injury (74 games played) and missed a month at the beginning of this year due to injury, so the 21-year-old will be able to get some extra reps in the AFL to make up for lost time. There's a chance he's in the big leagues at some point next year, too, and can use this time to prepare. Regardless, the left-handed slugger has some of the best bat-to-ball skills in the minors and should be stashed away in dynasty formats.

Detroit Tigers infield prospect Kevin McGonigle was able to snap his skid on Tuesday, facing Double-A New Hampshire. In this contest, the top-ranked prospect in the Detroit system went 2-for-4 with a long ball. Over his last four games, he did not tally a hit and held a 2:6 K:BB. However, before this brief slump at the plate, the No. 6-ranked prospect in baseball on MLB.com held a stellar .351/.457/.882 slash line with one double, two triples, five home runs, and a stolen base through his previous 10 contests. Since moving up to join Double-A Erie, McGonigle has been one of the most impressive bats in the minor leagues, holding a .276/.399/.586 line with eight long balls and four stolen bases. Fantasy managers should continue to keep a close eye on his status as he should be in the mix to join Detroit later in the 2026 season.

McGonigle is slashing .294/.393/.618 with seven home runs, four steals, and is walking (18) more than he is striking out (13) in 27 games since being promoted to Double-A. The Tigers' top-ranked prospect's arrow is pointing way up, and is on track for an MLB debut next year. With one of the top hit tools in the minors, he should not be available in any dynasty leagues.

The left-handed slugger has the makings of a strong fantasy producer and should be in the big leagues at some point next year.

Earlier in the campaign, the No. 6-ranked prospect in the sport on MLB.com, posted an impressive .372/.462/.648 slash line through 36 games with High-A.
