I was hoping Taylor was going to do that and wondering if it would have been a Clemson record. I'm sure 3 has been done several times.

remember a pitcher in the major leagues a few years ago named Len Barker? He pitched a perfect game for the Cleveland Indians one time, and Braves owner Ted Turner fell in LOVE with him, trading several players and cash for him a year and a half later. He had a losing record for the Braves, and was released by them with three years still left on his contract.
I said all that to say just this. One bright spot does not a career, or even a year, make. Hope this kid does well, except when the Bees play us.

4 homers in a single game is remarkable accomplishment.
Congrats to him and even if he never hits another as you stated, he will always have his 4 homer game when a very limited number of players have ever done it...and Baker still has a perfect game which is one of the most rare feats in baseball no matter how the rest of career played out.
GT has had some really good players, you never know when the next Pete Incaviglia will show up and set all kinds of college records lol

Unless there is men on base, our pitchers need to challenge him at the plate bc, good batters help with making great pitchers...

Looks like the real deal based on his high school record and evaluation by scouts, but one game against college pitching with an aluminum stick does not mean he's the next best thing to hit the world of baseball.
Heck Tony Cloninger in a game against the Giants hit 2 grand slams and drove in 9 runs as a pitcher.
However, even though we don't have a lot of stats yet to know what to make of this kid, what a game he had and hope he does well except against the Tigers.

is why you start freshmen in all sports when they are more talented than upperclassmen.
