Beer taken No. 28 overall by Astros in MLB Draft.
A day after his Clemson career came to an end, outfielder Seth Beer, one of the more decorated players in the history of the program, was drafted No. 28 overall by the Houston Astros in the first round of the Major League Baseball draft Monday.
Beer, who became the 14th Clemson player selected in the first round, finished his Clemson career as one of the greatest power hitters in the history of the program. He had 56 career home runs, which ranks fourth all-time in school history.
He is the first Tiger taken in the first round of the draft since Richie Schaffer was selected in the first round by the Tampa Bay Rays in 2012.
