Outside of its pitching, Clemson’s only other question marks come in the outfield where it must replace All-ACC centerfielder Chase Pinder and All-American Reed Rohlman in left field.
Not only were they stellar athletes in the field, but they also led the team in hitting. Rohlman was one of the ACC’s best hitters as he hit .361 with six home runs and 34 RBIs. Pinder, one of the best defensive players in the ACC the last three seasons, was second on the squad with a .305 average with seven home runs and 32 RBIs.
“Those guys were keys to our success the last two years,” Clemson head coach Monte Lee said.
