Clemson Star Named to All-Prospect Team
By: Staff Report February 13, 2025

A draft eligible junior, Clemson star outfielder Cam Cannarella is viewed by many as a future first-round pick.

Heading into the 2025 college baseball season, MLB Pipeline (MLB.com) senior writer Jim Callis named his College All-Prospect team for this year’s MLB Draft, including Cannarella.

“He offers some of the best bat-to-ball skills in the Draft, not to mention plus speed and center-field defense,” Callis wrote of Cannarella.

A preseason first-team All-American, Cannarella was recently one of 55 players named to the preseason watch list for the Golden Spikes Award, which is presented each year by USA Baseball to the national player of the year.

Cannarella is a two-time All-ACC selection and was named an All-American in 2024, when he hit .337 with 11 homers and 60 RBIs despite being hampered by injury most of the season. In his two-year career, he is hitting .363 with 32 doubles, six triples, 18 homers, 107 RBIs, 130 runs and 24 steals in 117 games.

Cannarella and the Tigers, who are ranked as high as No. 8 in the preseason polls by Baseball America and Perfect Game, begin the 2025 season on Feb. 14 at noon ET against No. 13 Oklahoma State in the Shriners Children’s College Showdown in Arlington, Texas.
