Clemson Baseball gets Top 10 preseason rankings
Clemson exceeded expectations for Year 1 under Erik Bakich, but there was a decent amount of turnover going into Year 2, so most people were cautiously optimistic about his second season.
D1Baseball is a little more bullish on the Tigers. They have them in their preseason Top 10.
D1 is one of the more respected and followed college baseball groups, so this kind of respect for Bakich’s program is gratifying.
