The Clemson Tigers are coming off a strong 2024 college baseball season that saw them reach the Super Regionals for the first time in 14 years.
Clemson won its on-site regional by going 3-0 and defeating Coastal Carolina in an elimination game at Doug Kingsmore Stadium in June. The Tigers fell short in the Super Regional against a red-hot Florida Gators team in a game that became an instant classic.
Erik Bakich’s Tigers finished the year 44-16 overall and were ranked No. 8 in the final USA TODAY Sports Coaches Poll.
On Monday, Perfect Game Baseball released its preseason Top 25 poll ahead of the 2025 season. Clemson was ranked No. 8, one spot behind the Texas Longhorns and one spot ahead of the Duke Blue Devils.
