    Vanderbilt's strong finish helped get Clinard into more games; the team's closer early in the year struggled with inconsistent work as the team struggled. The 6-foot-4, 215-pound junior has two solid-average pitches, with a fastball that at times is a tick above at 90-93 mph and a solid, sweepy slider. Clinard has made just three starts in three seasons and hasn't commanded the strike zone enough as a reliever to show that he merits a shot at it, but he also has a fresh arm and 129 career strikeouts in 132 innings. He could be a tough sign as a Vanderbilt junior.
