Like everyone associated with the Clemson baseball program, athletic director Dan Radakovich isn’t pleased with the Tigers’ 13-13 start to the 2015 baseball season.

“This obviously has not been the start to the season that everybody wanted,” he said to the media on Monday.

It’s definitely not the start head coach Jack Leggett needed following a turbulent end to the 2014 season, which resulted in not getting an extension to the two years he had left on his contract. In July, he will have just one year remaining on the current contract he signed following the College World Series season of 2010.

Of course that is assuming Leggett will still be the head baseball coach at Clemson in July.

As expected, Radakovich says it’s too early to talk about Leggett’s future as head coach or anything else because there is still another half of baseball left to be played.

“We have all been around baseball enough to know that you (can) start the year hot and you finish .500. There are times you start the year .500 and you finish hot,” he said. “At this point in time, where we are? We are in the middle of baseball season. We are going to see where we end up.”

Radakovich went on to say he did like the fight of this year’s team, but he only mentioned the players.

“It’s a good group of kids that fight hard and play hard. I enjoy watching the baseball games and we will see how the rest of the season plays out,” he said.

Following the Tigers’ disappointing performance in the NCAA (Nashville) Regional where they were blown out by Oregon and eliminated by Xavier, Radakovich met for nearly two hours with Leggett last June to discuss the program and the direction he wanted to see it head towards.

In that conversation, four things came out of it. Radakovich wanted Leggett to hire a sports psychologist to help with the team’s psyche, visit other successful baseball programs, create a players council and enhance Leggett’s public image.

And of course win games as well. Has the program succeed in meeting those demands?

“It is all a work in progress,” Radakovich said.

When asked would his evaluation include the fact the players’ clubhouse was not completed in time for the season and that the players are housing out of a cramped locker room inside the Jervey Athletic Center until its completion at the end of the season, Radakovich said, “You can put that out there, but I’m not sure anyone, whether administratively or coaching wise, will say that was an issue for success or not success.

“Hey look guys this is what we are playing with right now. The field is in great shape. They have great practice opportunities, batting cages, etc. etc. I don’t know if that is an issue.”

It might be to the players. Right now they have a makeshift clubhouse is the track room in Jervey. At times, they consider the baseball field at Doug Kingsmore as their clubhouse, similar to the way they feel when they play on the road.

“Obviously we would love to have one, but that is not the situation we were given,” said infielder Tyler Krieger following Sunday’s win over Wake Forest. “It is just like anything, you have to find a way to make it work.”

The Tigers will try to make it work on Tuesday and get over the .500 mark when they host Furman at 6:30 p.m.
