CLEMSON – In today’s world of college athletics, it is increasingly rare for a player to spend their entire athletic career at one school. But despite coaching changes and position moves, pitcher Reed Garris remained loyal to Clemson for four years.
And for the Mount Pleasant, S.C., native, that decision paid off.
In his final season with the Tigers, the right-hander recorded a dominant 1.57 ERA, a perfect 3-0 record, and only allowed six runs in 28.2 innings of work. Across his three-year pitching career at Clemson, Garris compiled a 9-1 record and 2.94 ERA in 82.
