Senior righthander who is a two-time draft pick...came on to be a valuable reliever late in the 2005 season...throws a sharp breaking ball...will be counted on out of the bullpen in 2006.
Head Coach Jack Leggett on Fiorenza: "Drew is one of those players that is on the edge of becoming a great pitcher at Clemson. He has to become more consistent with his fastball and his breaking ball. He is an extremely hard worker and a dedicated young man, and I look for a big year out of him. He has all the pitches to do it. He just has to find that consistency level, and I believe he will this year."
