CLEMSON — Erik Bakich’s Clemson Baseball team has passed one early-season test with flying colors.
Despite not having Jacob McGovern, one of the team’s key relievers, and starters Talan Bell and Drew Titsworth being limited, the Tigers’ pitching staff has come out of the gate firing on all cylinders.
Through seven games, Clemson pitchers are sporting a team ERA of 1.35 with 77 strikeouts to just 15 walks. After the 7-5 win over Bryant, the staff now has a collective WHIP of 0.80. Those numbers are outstanding, despite the small sample size, and when you add in that McGovern has not pitched, and Titsworth just made his debut on Sunday, they’re even more impressive.
