In the past, when Clemson makes a pitching change, head coach Monte Lee strolls out to the mound and signals to the bullpen when it is time to bring someone new in.
But this season pitching coach Andrew See has assumed the task of taking the ball out of one pitcher’s hand and passing it on to the new one.
Lee noted in his postgame press conference following the Tigers’ 5-2 victory over Cincinnati on Saturday that the change was not arbitrary, but a move that he and See feel will benefit the development of Clemson’s young pitching staff.
