Clemson baseball is getting one of its best pitchers back for 2027.
Aidan Knaak , who pitched the second-most innings for the Tigers in 2026, will return for his senior season despite getting drafted by the Milwaukee Brewers in the fifth round of the MLB draft, according to a July 27 report from The Clemson Insider .
Knaak's father spoke with them, stating that his son will be back at Clemson next season.

Knaak made 13 starts last season, finishing with a 5.81 ERA, 88 strikeouts and a 2-6 record in 57.1 innings. He served as the Tigers' ace in 2025 and 2026. He made the All-ACC first team in 2024 and 2025.
