The Max Clark Project
Max Clark — 2022–2025
About the Project
Independent documentary series following 3-time Gatorade National Baseball Player of the Year Max Clark from high school phenom to Detroit Tigers draft pick. Mack Media turned down Prep Baseball Report to own the content — producing a pre-draft docuseries that defined a new standard for athlete storytelling.
Want Results Like This?The Brief
Following Max Clark from high-school phenom to Detroit Tigers draft pick meant committing years before anyone knew how the story ended. The commercial decision was harder than the creative one: Mack Media turned down Prep Baseball Report in order to own the content outright.
How We Shot It
An independent long-form docuseries shot across seasons, built around access rather than events — three Gatorade National Baseball Player of the Year awards and a draft all landed inside the filming window. Draft-day coverage and social cuts came out of the same body of material.
Why It Matters
This is the portfolio's clearest statement of intent. Owning the content instead of taking the commission is what turns a production company into a media company, and the series set the standard the rest of the athlete work is measured against.
