Clemson – Clemson baseball is ready to conduct a college world series -outlook in year 3 under coach Erikbakich.

The No. 11 Tigers Won the ACC’s Atlantic Division, hosted an NCAA regional and reached its first NCAA Super Region in 14 years last season. They return all -American center fields Cam Cannarella And Pitcher Aidan Knaak to heading a charged team with Omaha, Nebraska, ambitions.

Before Clemson begins his season against No. 17 Oklahoma State on Friday (noon time), here are five bold predictions for their season 2025.

Clemson Baseball reaches the College World Series, suffering from early exit

Bakich has led Tigers to Back-to-back 40 victories seasons and performances in the NCAA tournament as an overall seed. He has helped them improve each season: to make an NCAA regional 2023 and then reach a super regional 2024.

Clemson’s next step is to reach the College World Series for the first time since 2010. It was at the door last season, but the Florida swept the tigers on his own Super Regional. This year, Clemson does it but releases early to end season 3 under Bakich.

Cam Cannarella wins College Baseballs National Player of the Year Award

Cannarella is Clemson’s best player who beats .337 with 11 home races last season even though he played with a grated labrum in its right shoulder. He is back on full health with some throwing limits, but he is founded to break out in what is probably his last season of college baseball

Three Clemson Players (Pitcher Kris Benson, Short Stop Khalil Greene, Outfielder Seth Beer) have won Dick Howser Trophy, given to College Baseballs Player of the Year. Cannarella can add his name to this list of another potent season, then he can become the highest-selected position player in the Clemson story at the draft 2025 MLB.

Clemson Baseball will not exceed 85 home purchases

Clemson was one of the best home runs last year and beat 109 (sixth in ACC). It lost 72.5% of that production, including four of the top five home runs.

Bakich hope for his Talented Transfer Portal The class can come in and help Cannarella and other hitters maintain last season’s production. These contributors include Cal Baptist Transfer Josh Paino (11 home runs last season), Purdue Transfer Luke Gaffney (13) and Michigan Transfer Collin Priest (12). Improved competition, however, will limit these Sluggers and Clemson’s home running ability 2025.

Clemson breaks average record

Clemson makes the fan experience better with renovations to Doug Kingsmore Stadium. It is to add a standing room’s only section by moving the delete bull on the third baseline to the foul territory. Another change is that netting will be increased in the third baseline to the left Foul-ball-pole to prevent the fans from being hit by beaten balls.

These improvements will protect the fans and let them get closer to the action. In 2024, Tigers averaged a program record 5,060 fans per home game, the highest presence in Clemson history. These changes and Clemson’s raised games in the field will crush that record in 2025.

Another Clemson player wins this year’s National Freshman Pitcher

Aidan Knaak won this year’s National Freshman Pitcher in 2024 after signing in a 5-1 record with a 3.35 era and 108 strikes in 83⅓ rounds. He carved out a role in Clemson’s rotation and became its ace.

Clemson has landed another star beginner right -handed jug. Dane Moehler was invited to MLB Draft Combine last year, and his pitch mix consists of a quick ball, curve ball and replacement. Moehler has impressed during the autumn exercise and for the season. He is the son of Brian Moehler, who beat the big leagues for 14 seasons.

Dane Moehler was injured during a review, but Bakich is optimistic about his health. If it is healthy, Moehler can mimic Knaaks Stellar beginner season.
