Clemson Freshman Tabbed as One of Nation’s Best

One Clemson pitcher has been tabbed as one of the best freshmen in the country.

In Baseball America’s Top 25 freshmen in college baseball, left-handed pitcher Talan Bell was ranked No. 15.

Bell dealt with an injury during fall ball but is a candidate to be a major contributor on the Tiger’s pitching staff in 2025.

Coming out of high school Bell was considered by Perfect Game to be a Top 200 MLB Prospect. The publication ranked Bell No. 33 overall and No. 5 among all left-handed pitching prospects.

Bell has a fastball that tops out well over 90 mph, and has a changeup and slider that he has really good command of.

As a senior at Hagerty High School (Oviedo, FL), Bell went 7-1 with a 0.98 ERA and 78 strikeouts, earning the Gatorade Player of the Year award in the state of Florida.
