CLEMSON, S.C. – The Clemson baseball program begins its spring training season this week in advance of its 129th season of competition. The Tigers, ranked No. 19 in the preseason by D1Baseball and No. 20 in the preseason by Perfect Game, open the season with a three-game series against Army West Point at Doug Kingsmore Stadium from Feb. 13-15 in the first-ever matchups between the two programs.
Erik Bakich is in his fourth season as head coach at Clemson, as he has directed the Tigers to 133 victories, tied for seventh most in the nation during that time.
