Clemson Tigers Gear Up for MLB Draft Combine

Five standout players weigh professional prospects against collegiate futures

The upcoming MLB Draft Combine will showcase a group of five Clemson Tigers who are looking to translate their college achievements into professional opportunities.

Clemson's Draft Prospects

Jarren Purify, a second baseman who endured a broken hand during his junior year, still managed a .344 batting average and a 1.072 OPS, underscoring his resilience and offensive firepower.

Right‑hander Aidan Knaak burst onto the scene as a freshman, delivering a series of dominant outings that have positioned him as one of the most promising arms in the Tigers' rotation.

Left‑handed reliever Justin LeGuernic, after a rocky start to his first two seasons, broke out in 2026 with a strong performance that highlighted his potential as a late‑inning option.

High School Standouts

High school phenom Blake Bryant entered Clemson with a perfect 10‑0 record in his senior season, excelling both at the plate and on the mound, while Chase Kiker combined power hitting with solid pitching to guide his team to a state final appearance.
