Career

Clouse attended Grand Ledge High School in Grand Ledge, Michigan, and played college baseball at Davenport University in Grand Rapids, Michigan.[1] In 2016, as a redshirt sophomore, he went 5–0 with a 1.62 ERA.[2] After the season, he was drafted by the Atlanta Braves in the 27th round of the 2016 Major League Baseball draft.[3]

Clouse made his professional debut that year with the Danville Braves, and after pitching 6+2⁄3 scoreless innings, was promoted to the Rome Braves where he finished the season, posting a 1.52 ERA over 15 relief appearances.[4][5] He began 2017 with the Florida Fire Frogs and was promoted to the Mississippi Braves during the season.[6][7] Over 41 relief appearances between both teams, he was 5–4 with a 2.53 ERA and a 1.55 WHIP.[8] After the season, he played in the Arizona Fall League.[9] He began 2018 with Mississippi and was promoted to the Gwinnett Stripers in August.[10][11] Over 45 appearances (three starts) between the two clubs, he went 6–2 with a 1.94 ERA, striking out 83 batters in 65 innings.[12] He returned to Gwinnett for the 2019 season, going 0–3 with a 5.65 ERA over 28+2⁄3 relief innings, striking out 37. Following the season's end, he underwent shoulder surgery.[13]

Clouse did not play a minor league game in 2020 due to the cancellation of the minor league season caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.[14] Due to undisclosed reasons, Clouse did not make his 2021 debut until mid-August, with Mississippi.[15] Over 13 games (three starts), he went 1–0 with a 1.48 ERA and 33 strikeouts over 24+1⁄3 innings. Clouse underwent Tommy John surgery prior to the 2022 season and missed the entire year as a result.[16] He elected free agency following the season on November 10, 2022.[17]

On February 25, 2023, Clouse announced his retirement from professional baseball via Instagram.[18]
