Power Surge Continues for Former Clemson Standout

Cam Cannarella is on some kind of hot streak.

The former Clemson standout hit another home run on Tuesday, his sixth long ball in his last nine games.

Cannarella also had a stellar defensive play on Monday out in right field, going up over the wall to rob an opposing hitter of what looked like a home run.

Cannarella recently got the call-up to Double-A Pensacola, part of the Miami Marlins organization, and is hitting .333 with nine homers and 47 RBI this season.

In 19 games at High-A this season prior to his promotion to Double-A, Cannarella slashed a stellar .394/.439/.577 with a 1.016 OPS in 71 at-bats over 19 games. The 22-year-old logged three home runs, two doubles, one triple, 22 RBI, 15 runs scored and two stolen bases, while walking eight times and striking out only 10 times.

Cannarella was selected by the Marlins in the Competitive Balance Round A (No. 43 overall) of the 2025 MLB Draft. He was the final pick prior to the second round. The Marlins agreed to a deal with Cannarella for $2,277,425 (slot value = $2,276,700).

In his three-year Clemson career (2023-25), Cannarella – a three-time All-ACC selection and two-time All-American — hit .360 with 262 hits, 54 doubles, eight triples, 23 homers, 159 RBIs, 192 runs and 30 steals in 178 games. He also had a .551 slugging percentage and .453 on-base percentage.
