## Resource

Kevin McGonigle, Detroit Tigers rookie shortstop and third baseman, has made a remarkable start to his big-league career. He won the American League Rookie of the Month award for March and April, becoming the first Tiger to achieve this since 2024. McGonigles impressive statistics include a .328 batting average, 2 home runs, 19 walks, 17 strikeouts, and a .935 OPS. He also had a standout debut on Opening Day and signed an 8-year, $150 million extension with the Tigers. Despite a slower May, McGonigle remains second in Rookie of the Year odds, with the potential to make a strong run for the full prize.
