The attrition to Clemson’s baseball roster in the wake of Monte Lee’s firing has begun.
Two players intend to transfer after news of Lee’s dismissal as the Tigers’ head coach came down Tuesday. Catcher Jonathan French and infielder Dylan Brewer have each entered the transfer portal, according to a source.
Both third-year sophomores, Brewer and French combined for 76 starts this season. Brewer finished the season as the Tigers’ everyday first baseman, hitting .208 with four home runs and 24 RBIs in 46 games. French, who started 37 of the 44 games he played, hit eight homers and drove in 28 runs.
An Under Armour All-American in high school, French played 75 games for the Tigers the last two seasons after redshirting in 2020. Brewer, a Latta native, played 111 games over three seasons at Clemson.
