Hayden Simmerson, a Clemson reliever, entered the transfer portal on June 2 and hopes to be drafted by MLB in July.

Clemson’s 2026 baseball season ended with a 31‑26 record and a spot outside the NCAA Tournament. Head coach Erik Bakich is now rebuilding the squad through the transfer portal, adding Bennett Edwards while losing key players such as Nate Savoie.
Clemson led 1‑0 entering the ninth inning against Virginia Tech, only to see the Hokies rally with two runs. The walk‑off sequence, featuring Nick Locurto and Pete Daniel, dropped the Tigers to eight ACC series losses and forced a must‑win scenario in the ACC Tournament.
