The future looks bright for Clemson baseball with the recent commitments of two elite prospects from the class of 2026 – Chase Kiker and Carson Adomnik. Head coach Erik Bakich and his staff have secured pledges from this dynamic duo, bolstering an already talented Tigers roster.
Chase Kiker, a versatile two-way player from Indian Trail, North Carolina, is considered one of the top overall players in his class. The 6-foot-2, 185-pound Kiker stars both on the mound as a right-handed pitcher and in the field as a skilled position player. His ability to impact the game in multiple ways makes him a treasured addition to Clemson.
Joining Kiker in committing to the Tigers is Carson Adomnik, an imposing 6-foot-5, 200-pound right-hander from Hiram, Georgia. Adomnik’s fastball has been clocked in the low 90s and he features a sharp breaking ball that keeps hitters off balance. He projects as a frontline starter at the collegiate level.
Landing both Kiker and Adomnik is a major coup for a Clemson program that routinely competes for ACC titles and trips to the College World Series in Omaha. Their commitments speak to the strength of Clemson’s recruiting efforts under Bakich and the program’s standing as a premier destination for the nation’s top prep talent.
Tiger fans are excited about the future with Kiker and Adomnik set to suit up in orange and purple. Their arrival in 2026, along with the rest of a strong recruiting class, positions Clemson to remain a force in college baseball for the foreseeable future. Expectations will undoubtedly be high, but these two young stars appear more than ready to meet the challenge.
