A former Clemson standout continues to stay hot at the plate.
Cam Cannarella belted another home run on Friday, his fourth since getting called up to Double-A Pensacola on June 2. The long ball extended his current hitting streak to 11-games.
The left-handed hitter has been scorching hot at the plate of late, earning Southern League Player of the Week honors on June 22 after recording 11 hits in 20 at-bats last week while hitting safely in every game, including four multi-hit efforts.
As of June 24, Cannarella’s eye-popping numbers included a .371 average, .474 on-base percentage, .548 slugging percentage and a 1.022 OPS across 62 at-bats, with three home runs, two doubles, 12 RBI, 17 runs scored, four stolen bases, and 12 walks against only eight strikeouts.
This comes after Cannarella missed time with a fractured wrist early in the season. He returned from the IL on May 17.
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.
Cannarella is currently the No. 7 prospect in the Marlins organization, according to MLB.com.
