CLEMSON — Erik Bakich’s tear on the recruiting trail continues for Clemson.

One of the top left-handed pitchers in the 2027 recruiting class, Cole Cinnamond (Great Bridge, VA), has committed to the Tigers. He makes the fourth verbal pledge for Bakich this week.

Perfect Game gives Cinnamond, who also plays 1B, a perfect grade of 10, meaning “potential very high draft pick and/or elite level college prospect.”

The 6-foot-5 southpaw, who is already approaching the mid-90s with his fastball, ranks inside the Top 50 overall and as one of the five-best left-handed pitchers in the class.
