The signing means a key piece of last year’s Clemson Tigers baseball team won’t return for the 2025 season.
pitcher Austin Gordon has signed a contract with the Los Angeles Angels and will not return to the program next season, per a report byGordon signed a deal for $572,500. That’s a below slot deal. Each selection in the MLB Draft has a slot value and the value for the No. 110 pick was $662,900. It’s not uncommon for deals to come in above or below the slot value, as each franchise only has a certain amount it can spend on its draft picks and must manage that salary pool accordingly.
Gordon became the predominant closer last season, as he went 2-2 with 11 saves and a 4.35 ERA. He struck out 53 in 39.1 innings in 22 appearances. His 11 saves tied for third most in a season in Tiger history.
