CLEMSON, S.C. — Clemson went 1-for-2 Tuesday on Day Two of the MLB amateur draft.
Freshman Bubba Chandler was taken in the third round by the Pirates and appears set to sign and thus begin his professional career.
Meanwhile, former Dutch Fork outfielder Will Taylor was not taken and will stay in school where he will play receiver and quarterback for Dabo Swinney and patrol the outfield for Monte Lee.
Taylor was projected to be a first round draft pick but instead the Gatorade Player of the Year for South Carolina will stay in school. On Tuesday, there is a photo shoot scheduled for members of the Clemson football team and Taylor will be there for his close-up.
There is still a chance on day three of the draft a team could take a chance by drafting Taylor just to see what would happen but as of now, Taylor will continue to be a part of Tiger athletics.
