- Clemson baseball transfer portal tracker 2025: Who's in, who's out for Erik Bakich
CLEMSON — The offseason is here for Clemson baseball despite its hopes to still be playing in the College World Series
The Tigers (45-18) won their most games under coach Erik Bakich and most since 2018 to host a regional for the third straight season. However, they suffered an early elimination after losing to region No. 2 seed West Virginia and No. 3 Kentucky to fall way short of their CWS goal.

Now, Bakich looks to revamp his 2026 roster via the transfer portal as Clemson is losing key hitting and pitching contributors and looks to end its 15-year drought of not making it to Omaha.
The transfer portal opened June 2 and will close July 1. Graduate transfers can enter outside of the window, and if a school's coach leaves, players on those rosters will have an additional 30-day window to enter the portal.
Here's a look at who is leaving and joining Clemson baseball via the transfer portal.
