McGonigle crashed his way onto the Tigersâ Opening Day roster as the clubâs starting shortstop, and he sure has validated Detroitâs aggressive decision. The 21-year-old began his career with a four-hit game, becoming only the 21st Major Leaguer since 1900 with a four-hit game in their MLB debut. McGonigle slashed .328/.426/.509 with a .935 OPS in April, using a combination of elite bat-to-ball skills and plus power to become the Tigersâ most productive hitter. McGonigle is the seventh Tiger to win Rookie of the Month, and the first since teammate Colt Keith in July 2024.
