Kody Clemens just won’t stop hitting. The second basemen entered professional baseball riding an incredible hot streak that saw him crushing dingers and providing tons of energy to a playoff-bound Texas Longhorns squad. While Clemens had never been seen as the prospect with big tools and an exciting ceiling, he was turning in outstanding performances on amateur baseball’s biggest stage.
According to Clemens, there was a deceptively simple driving factor.
“Plate discipline — that was the key. Seeing the ball well and making sure I’m swinging at the right pitches, that was just it.”
That plate discipline was the reason he was able to kick it into overdrive as the season closed out is an encouraging sign.
