At the halfway point of the ACC season, Clemson’s baseball program is playing, perhaps, above expectations.
After losing so many experienced players off of last year’s squad, there were not many people who expected the Tigers to compete for another ACC Championship in 2019. They were picked to finish fourth in the ACC’s Atlantic Division before the season even started.
Last year’s co-ACC Regular Season Champions had to replace every day players such as Seth Beer, Chris Williams, Patrick Cromwell, Robert Jolly and Drew Wharton, as well as closer Ryley Gilliam, starter Jake Higginbotham and reliever Ryan Miller on the mound.
