Spencer Strider knows he and the Braves have to deliver in the playoffs.
Ahead of his second postseason start in Game 1 of the NLDS, here’s how the strikeout artist is better prepared for the playoffs this year.
Swinney on freshman OL Elyjah Thurmon:
“That kid can play five positions. He’s a rare jewel in the offense line. … way ahead of what a typical freshman is.”
Swinney added Thurmon would start on Clemson OL if it was a few years ago, but the team has “really good depth.”

Clemson DB Khalil Barnes said Ashton Hampton, Corian Gipson and Ricardo Jones are some of the freshman DBs who have stood out in preseason.
On Jones: "He really had to defense down after the first scrimmage we had in the spring. He learns really fast, really energetic."
Coach Mike Noonan channeled his inner Dabo Swinney when asked about his team defending its national championship.
“We’re attacking champions. Obviously, everyone considers us that way. We don’t consider ourselves that way.”
Clemson men’s soccer held its first availability of the season Tuesday as it prepares to repeat as national champions.
The Tigers’ first game is Thursday against Penn State at Historic Riggs Field.
