Priest Brings Left-Handed Pop, Plate Discipline, and All-ACC Bat Credibility
In the 2025 season, Collin Priest was a Third-Team All-ACC infielder for Clemson, hitting .240 with 12 home runs, 52 RBIs, 47 walks, and a .407 on-base percentage in 59 games, while Clemson described him as one of its strongest players with power to all fields. He stands out less as a pure average guy and more as a damage-maker with patience, showing a career .257 average, .522 slugging, and excellent walk production; the catch is that his 2026 season was derailed by a hamstring injury, so the fit depends on whether a team values middle-of-the-order thump and on-base skills over everyday durability.
