One of the top shortstops in the 2026 class has committed to Clemson.
Louis Hernandez Jr announced a commitment to the Tigers via social media.
“I am extremely blessed and beyond excited to announce that I will be continuing my academic and athletic career at Clemson University!”
“I would first like to thank God for blessing me with the opportunity to play the game that I love.”
“Most importantly I would like to thank Coach Bakich, Coach Schnabel, Coach Mazur, Coach Belanger, and the entire Clemson Baseball Staff for giving me this amazing opportunity. This is simply the next step in my journey. I can’t wait to be a Tiger!!!”
The 6-foot-4, 200-pound infielder has a grade of 9.5 on Perfect Game. Hernandez was also invited to USA Baseball’s National Team Development Program back in the summer.
Louis Hernandez (26 FL) didn’t miss this one as he crushed a long GS deep to the pull side. Really controls levers well & showed off big tools this summer. #WWBA @Florida_PG @PG_Uncommitted pic.twitter.com/7mRDTsPFPk
