​The 2026 MLB Draft provided another reminder that Clemson continues to send talent to the professional ranks.Five Tigers were selected over the course of the draft, with Aidan Knaak leading the group after the Milwaukee Brewers made him a fifth-round pick. Justin LeGuernic followed in the sixth round when the Kansas City Royals called his name, while Jacob Jarrell was taken by the Atlanta Braves in the eighth. Ariston Veasey and Drew Titsworth rounded out Clemson’s draft class as 11th-round selections by the Chicago Cubs and Philadelphia Phillies.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementJarrell leaves Clemson with one of the more accomplished offensive careers among the group’s draftees. The catcher appeared in four seasons for the Tigers and steadily developed into one of the team’s most dependable bats. He finished his college career hitting .260 with a .375 on-base percentage and a .519 slugging percentage. He also totaled 44 home runs, 22 doubles, 133 RBIs, 123 runs scored, and an .895 OPS before earning his opportunity with the Braves.Knaak’s college career featured stretches where he looked like one of the ACC’s better starters. He burst onto the scene as a freshman, recording a 3.35 ERA with 108 strikeouts and a 1.152 WHIP. He followed that with another 110-strikeout season as a sophomore while lowering his WHIP to 1.107, although his ERA climbed to 4.18. His junior campaign was a different story, as he finished with a 5.81 ERA, 88 strikeouts, and a 1.64 WHIP. Milwaukee is hoping the right-hander can rediscover the consistency he showed earlier in his Clemson career.LeGuernic also spent three seasons in Clemson’s pitching staff before becoming a sixth-round selection. He closed his college career with a 6.40 ERA, 93 strikeouts, and a 1.674 WHIP, giving the Royals a pitcher they believe can continue to develop in their farm system.Veasey took a different path to the draft. After beginning his career at Alabama, he transferred to Clemson for the 2026 season and made an immediate impact, posting a 3.29 ERA with 37 strikeouts and a 1.134 WHIP. Titsworth, meanwhile, spent three years with the Tigers and wrapped up his collegiate career with a 4.34 ERA, 119 strikeouts, and a 1.327 WHIP before the Phillies selected him.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementClemson’s season ended earlier than expected after finishing 31-26 and falling to Notre Dame in the ACC Tournament. Even so, the Tigers once again showed they have players capable of making the jump to professional baseball, with five members of the 2026 roster now beginning the next chapter of their careers.Contact us @Clemson_Wire on X, and like our page on Facebook for ongoing coverage of Clemson Tigers news and notes, plus opinions.This article originally appeared on Clemson Wire: Every Clemson baseball player drafted in the 2026 MLB Draft
