2001: Has been used as a long reliever and starter this season after setting a school record in saves (15) last season... tied for fourth on the team in wins (4) with Josh Cram... appeared in four games, including a 7-4 win at South Carolina in which he got the win in 2.2 innings of work, before being sidelined with a hip injury... missed two weeks with a stress fracture in his left hip... aggravation of the injury could have led to avascular necrosis (AVN), which ended the career of Bo Jackson... returned from injury against Wofford and earned the win after pitching four inningsS pitched five scoreless innings to get the win against New York Tech for his third consecutive victoryS picked up a win with 2.1 scoreless innings of relief against Georgia... earned his first save of the year with 2.1 scoreless innings of work in a 6-3 victory over North Carolina... gave up one hit in two innings against Virginia.

Leggett Comments: "He is one of those guys that had a great year for us last year after transferring in from a junior college. He had 15 saves, which broke the saves record here at Clemson and was an All-American. He wants to get a chance as starter this year and I am going to give him that chance. He can swing by doing starting, middle relief, and finishing games off. He is an extremely hard worker and great leader on our baseball team and very unselfish and competitive. We will see great things out of him this year."
