Brendon Bennett brings swing-and-miss lefty upside to Clemson
Brendon Bennett has been a useful bullpen arm for Clemson in the 2026 season, posting a 2.05 ERA with 29 strikeouts in 22.0 innings while holding hitters to a .208 average, and he flashed earlier as a midweek starter before a season-ending injury in 2025. He stands out as a big-bodied, left-on-left weapon with legit bat-missing ability and enough polish to work in leverage, though the injury history is the main checkbox to monitor. If your team values a tough, strike-throwing LHP with real reliever upside, he’s absolutely worth caring about.
