WATCH: Beer hits HR for first pro hit


by -

Former Clemson right fielder Seth Beer didn't take long to make a good impression at the pro level.

Beer, who signed a $2.25 million contract as the first-round pick for the Houston Astros this week, sent his first hit opposite-field and over the wall for a home run:

Beer is playing A-ball in the minors with the Tri-City ValleyCats in Troy, New York.

The Suwanee, Georgia product led the ACC in home runs (22) and slugging percentage (.642) and ranked second on the Tigers in batting average (.301) and RBIs (54) last season. He totaled 56 home runs and 177 RBIs over three seasons.

He won the Dick Howser Trophy for the nation’s best player as a freshman in 2016, when he hit .369 with 18 home runs, 70 RBIs and a .700 slugging percentage.
