MLB Draft hits Tigers hard, but help is on the way

In the world of college baseball, where scholarships are few and professional money is abundant, it’s hard for players to turn down the chance to play baseball at the next level. The Clemson baseball team is feeling the effects of the recent draft.

Pitching prospect Bubba Chandler, already on campus and wanting to play football, was lost to the Pirates early on the second day. Shortstop James Parker, pitcher Keyshawn Askew, pitcher Mack Anglin, pitcher Davis Sharpe, pitcher Carter Raffield, and catcher Adam Hackenberg were all picked over the remainder of the draft, and TigerNet expects all but Anglin to move on to the next level.
