Clemson baseball well-represented on All-ACC teams
The ACC released its All-ACC baseball teams on Monday, and Clemson had seven players honored.
Tigers outfielder Seth Beer, who leads Clemson with a .308 average and 19 home runs, was named first-team All-ACC. He was joined on the first team by closer Ryley Gilliam, who is 2-2 with 11 saves and a 0.79 ERA.
Clemson shortstop Logan Davidson was named to the second team after hitting .300 with a team-high 16 doubles during the regular season. Davidson added 13 home runs and 38 RBIs. He became the first Clemson player in program history to homer from both sides of the plate in the same game this past weekend at Pittsburgh.
Kyle Wilkie, Chris Williams and Grayson Byrd were named third-team All-ACC. Wilkie is second on the team with a .306 average. The catcher has nine doubles, four homers and 33 RBIs. Williams leads the Tigers with 56 RBIs to go along with a .255 average, nine doubles and 14 homers. Byrd is batting .248 with two doubles, nine homers and 26 RBIs in 41 games.
Freshman reliever Spencer Strider was named to the all-freshman team after going 5-1 with a 3.66 ERA.
Clemson returns to action on Wednesday when it faces Notre Dame in the ACC tournament in Durham, N.C. The Tigers tied for the ACC regular season title and are the No. 2 seed in the tournament. North Carolina is the No. 1 seed.
