Monte Lee landed a commitment from the son of former Clemson pitcher Tim Parker, who played for Bill Wilhelm before the Cubs took him in the third-round of the 1990 draft.
The former Clemson righty had a promising start to his minor league career before injuries forced him to walk away from the game. His son, James, a 2018 shortstop from T.L. Hanna, will follow his footsteps to Clemson.
On Sunday, Parker committed to Lee’s 2018 class, which already holds a pledge from New York shortstop Charles Mack.
“I think what it came down to was the family environment,” Parker said, during an interview with TheClemsonInsider.
