The University of Clemson baseball team which takes part in the Atlantic Coast Conference is also known to represent the Clemson University in the NCAA Division I college baseball. Having had only two coaches since its commencement, their present head coach happens to be Jack Leggett.

Long before Jack Leggett took over coaching in 2000, it had been Bill Winheim who had coached the Clemson baseball team during the period from the 1970′s to the 1990′s. The Doug Kingsmore Stadium which is the Clemson home ground stadium is said to be able to accommodate a crowd of up to 6217 spectators and fans and is known to be the grounds on which the Clemson baseball team plays all their home games.

Clemson which has always been consistent with their wins, have an impressive 40 wins in the last 21 games played by them. After leaving the Clemson University, a number of their players have been able to join Major League. The colors of their uniform are northwestern purple and burnt orange.

Some of the great names include Jeff Baker, Brian Barnes, Kris Neson, Jerry Brooks, Mike Brown and many more. Some names are more familiar than others which are why we are going to take a look at those that are more common in much greater detail.
