Portal Additions Should Add More Pop to Lineup
While Erik Bakich and his Clemson baseball team once again managed to win more than 40 games last season, the lineup still didn’t have quite as much pop as was expected.
After hitting 109 home runs in 2024, the Tigers hit just 73 last season. However, looking at some of the portal additions, those numbers are likely to rise in 2026.
One of the biggest additions was outfielder Ty Dalley. After hitting 58 homers across his first three seasons at Mercer, Dalley comes into the season as the active home run leader in all of D1 baseball. He has 188 career RBI and a .627 slugging percentage. Expect Dalley to man the spot in right field.
