Clemson Tigers Baseball Transfer Portal Tracker: Exits, Acquisitions For 2027 Roster

Clemson baseball’s season came to an end earlier than expected. Now, head coach Erik Bakich will look to right the ship in a positive direction.
The Tigers finished with a 31-26 record, but struggled mightily in the ACC in 2026. Bakich’s group finished with a 10-20 record in conference play, which is tied for the worst finish in program history against those opponents.
