Burmeister brings elite power and proven two-way impact to Clemson’s future behind the plate
Sophia Burmeister is a high-upside Clemson catcher/third baseman whose profile is built on **elite power, contact production, and decorated high-school pedigree**: in 2025 she hit .470 with 18 homers and 40 RBI, earning repeat first-team all-state honors and another San Diego Section Player of the Year nod. Her measurable tools back up the résumé—strong bat speed, quick pop times, and catcher arm strength—and she arrives as a national-level prospect, though Clemson lists her as **out for the 2026 season**, so the value is more long-term than immediate.
