A product of South Florida powerhouse Stoneman Douglas, Clemente has garnered a reputation as a big, physical hard thrower. He missed his 2023 freshman season at Florida with a shoulder injury, then pitched mostly as a reliever in 2024. He opened 2025 as a starter, but ultimately returned to the bullpen. Clemente posted a 2.31 ERA over 35 innings as a reliever.

The 6-foot-3, 220- pound right-hander has a big fastball and knows it. He sat at 95 mph with the pitch and ran it up to 99 in 2025. The offering generated ample ride through the top of the zone and bowling-ball sink down, which helped him post a 45.5% ground ball rate. Clemente also mixed in a mid-80s slider with some tilt that he occasionally threw hard to give it some cutter shape. He introduced a mid-80s curveball to his repertoire in 2025, too, and drew 33% whiff and 30% chase rates with it.

Clemente will need to make considerable strides with his control to profile as a starter, but his bat-missing ability, high-octane velocity and feel for three pitches could allow him to quickly thrive in a professional bullpen.
