Clemson Picks Up Huge Commitment

Erik Bakich has added a huge piece to Clemson’s 2026 recruiting class.

Two-way player Chase Kiker (Indian Trail, NC) announced a commitment to the Tigers on Monday.

“First and foremost, I would like to thank God as without him none of this would be possible. With that being said I am excited to announce that I will be furthering my academic and athletic career at Clemson Univerity. Go Tigers!!”

Kiker is one of the top players in the country, earning first-team all-state honors last season helping lead Metrolina Christian to an NCISAA state championship last spring.

Kiker is a RHP and infielder. He has a grade of 10 on Perfect Game, the highest they give out. His fastball tops out in the mid 90s and he was named MVP pitcher at WWBA 16U, while also hitting .516 at that championship.
