Why the 2019 Clemson baseball team could be Monte Lee’s best yet

The 2019 Clemson baseball team will look a good bit different from last year’s squad that slugged its way to a 47-16 record and hosted a regional. But a new look could lead to more success for Monte Lee’s group this season.

The Tigers ranked third in the country in home runs a season ago with 98, but its two home run leaders, Seth Beer (22) and Chris Williams (18), are now playing professional baseball.

This year’s team still has sky high expectations, but it will rely more on putting the ball in play and utilizing its speed on the base paths rather than swinging for the fences.
