Jackson Taylor brings left-handed pop and ready-made middle-infield upside to Clemson
In the 2026 season, Clemson freshman infielder Jackson Taylor profiles as a high-upside add with real polish: he’s a 6-4, 195-pound lefty hitter who was a top-100 Georgia prospect and, in summer ball, won New England Collegiate Baseball League Rookie of the Year while hitting .319 with a .500 OBP, a homer, a triple, five doubles and 21 RBIs in 25 games. That combination of size, on-base skill and run production makes him more than just a glove-first backup—he looks like a future lineup piece if he keeps translating bat speed into consistent contact.
