Chase Pinder hasn’t exactly built his reputation on being a power hitter, but one might presume as much based on the Clemson outfielder’s recent performances.
After no home runs in the Tigers’ first 38 games this season, Pinder has six home runs in Clemson’s last 14 games.
“I haven’t changed anything in my swing or anything,” Pinder said. “I’ve just really focused on the inside pitch and getting my barrel out in front of my right foot. I had that same stroke last year, and I’m starting to find it again. You go through these spurts, and I’m happy that I am now.
