Heading into the abbreviated five-round 2020 Major League Baseball Draft that took place two weeks ago, many experts believed Clemson baseball commitment Caden Grice could be a second- or third-round pick.
The 6-foot-6, 225-pound first baseman and left-handed pitcher from Riverside High School in Greer, S.C., indeed had the opportunity to be drafted but could not come to an agreement with a MLB club prior to the draft and therefore elected to come to Clemson to continue his baseball career.
“I had the chance to have my name called this year, I just turned it down,” Grice told The Clemson Insider.
