Though 14th-ranked Clemson returns a lot of experience on the pitching mound this year, it will open the season with a lot of youth.
Head coach Monte Lee announced Tuesday the Tigers will start freshmen Davis Sharpe and Justin Wrobleski in its season-opening series against South Alabama.
Sharpe, a righty, will start Game 2 on Saturday, while Wrobleski, a lefty, will start Game 3 on Sunday. However, Lee will turn to experience in Friday’s season opener. Senior Brooks Crawford will get the start as the Tigers open the series with South Alabama at 4 p.
