Clemson Vs. Oklahoma State Predictions
Warren Nolan has one of the best predictive models among college sports. Here’s how he has Clemson vs. OSU shaking out.
Clemson
- Win Probability: 46%
Oklahoma State
- Win Probability: 54%

- Opp. BA: .217
Aidan Knaak Is One Of The Top Pitchers In 2026 Draft Class
Knaak is the No. 31-ranked prospect in the 2026 MLB Draft Class, according to Baseball America. The 6-foot-1, 190-pound righty had a strong freshman season with a 3.76 ERA and 48 strikeouts in 38.1 innings.
His change-up is his best pitch, especially when his mid-90s fastball is cooking. Knaak was the No. 308-ranked draft prospect in 2023, and balled out at the 2024 MLB Draft Combine, but stayed committed to the Tigers. – Joe Harrington, FloSports
Could Gabe Davis Climb Into The First Round?
Gabe Davis is the No. 50 prospect in the FloBaseball Composite rankings and No. 32 at Baseball America. He is among the best pitchers in the Big 12. He’s also one of the tallest prospects. At 6-foot-9, the right-hander touches 100mph with his fastball and has a big slider that could some day be his punch-out pitch at the next level.
Davis has had command issues, which led to his 4.17 ERA in 45.1 innings, but he has improved it to become the Opening Day starter. Davis pitched at the College Baseball Showdown in 2024 against Arkansas and went 5.2 innings, striking out five and walking two while allowing no runs in a 2-1 win for the Cowboys, which might have been the best win OSU has ever had at the Showdown – Joe Harrington, FloSports
Starting Pitchers For Clemson Baseball Vs. Oklahoma State
Here are the starting pitchers for today’s game.
- Aidan Knaak will start for Clemson today against Oklahoma State.
- Gabe Davis will start for Oklahoma State today against Clemson.
