Less than 24 hours after Seth Beer’s Clemson career ended with a loss to Vanderbilt in the Clemson Regional, his life changed forever. This past Monday night Beer’s dreams of playing professional baseball became a reality when the Houston Astros selected Beer in the first round of the 2018 Major League Baseball Draft and funny enough, as the No. 28 pick overall.
“I think I’m still on cloud nine a little bit,” Beer told The Clemson Insider in an exclusive interview. “I’m still just super excited and I really couldn’t ask for anything greater. I’m so happy the Astros picked me to represent their organization.
