After the departures of second baseman Weston Wilson and shortstop Eli White to the major leagues, the Clemson baseball team has some openings in the infield heading into the 2016 season.
Clemson second-year head coach Monte Lee met with the media on Friday, when the Tigers began fall practice season inside Doug Kingsmore Stadium, and rattled off several names of players who could fill those voids.
Sophomore infielder Grayson Byrd — the son of former major league pitcher Paul Byrd, who played 14 seasons with seven different teams — would have been a player Lee mentioned.
However, Lee said on Monday that Byrd injured his back in summer ball and hasn’t been able to practice since the school year started.
