Draft Prospects

• Ranked #387 prospect in 2023 draft
  School: Mississippi State Source: 4YR
  
  Commit/Drafted: Never Drafted
  Age At Draft: 22.2
  Clark is a power-hitting corner outfielder with a 6-foot-4, 205-pound frame. He’s been a consistent power source for Mississippi State in his three seasons with the program, and in 2023 he slashed .299/.394/.545 with 11 home runs, 11 doubles, a 22.5% strikeout rate and a 12.8% walk rate. He is capable of hitting towering home runs to the pull side when he gets fully extended, with an 89 mph average exit velocity and a peak exit velocity north of 110 mph. That power comes with plenty of swing-and-miss, as Clark has a career strikeout rate over 20%, though that has improved slightly each season. He still chases out of the zone too frequently, and struggles against sliders, though he has hammered 92-plus mph heaters.
• Ranked #283 prospect in 2020 draft
  Clark has long been a smooth-swinging hitter, but he’s starting to become interesting on the mound as well. At 19, Clark is old for the high school class and will be a draft-eligible sophomore if he goes to Mississippi State. A big, lefthanded hitter, Clark can show feel to hit and power, but he has to choose which he wants to do—scouts who see a plus hit tool think it will come with below-average power while others see plus power with a below-average hit tool. His profile is a question because he’s a first baseman/right fielder. A righthanded thrower, his arm is an asset in right field and he’s steadily gained velocity on the mound, showing the ability to sink a 91-95 mph fastball and mix in a promising breaking ball.
