Though Clemson lost starting pitchers Sam Weatherly and Spencer Strider to the Majors, and closer Carson Spiers signed a free agent deal after the MLB Draft, the Tigers did get some good news when its top signee for the 2020 class did not get drafted.
Riverside High School’s Caden Grice could not come to an agreement with a Major League Club prior to the draft and therefore decide to come to Clemson to continue his baseball career. Many thought Grice could have been a second or third-round pick in the draft.
“Having Grice come in, that is a big, big deal for us,” Clemson head coach Monte Lee said Monday.
