Mike Kent
Kent recorded a save at Maryland in the first game of a doubleheader on April 21, 2012. Two days later, he endured a six-hour bone marrow transplant for his ailing brother, Matt, who is battling Hodgkin's Lymphoma. On the season, Kent was 1-2 with two saves and a 3.76 ERA in 38.1 innings pitched over 21 appearances (one start). Kent was an ACC Academic Honor Roll member as well. "I think about the pain he's going through, pain he's been through the last three years now," Kent told The Post & Courier in May. "He's a fighter, and that's what I'm trying to be.” Source: Clemson SID
