A dream became a reality for Clemson right-handed pitcher Owen Griffith when he was selected by the Minnesota Twins in the 20th round of the 2019 Major League Baseball Draft on June 3.
“I was just at my house watching T.V. with my friends and my adviser called me,” Griffith told The Clemson Insider recently. “He said, ‘The Twins just drafted you.’ I was like, ‘Are you serious?’ and looked at my phone and it started blowing up.
“I was speechless. I didn’t know how to react to it. I called my mom and that’s how it all happened.
