Statistics
 
What are your plans after graduation?     
After graduation I'm hoping to find a job in sports, or maybe move to somewhere in Europe.
 
What was your favorite sports moment at Carleton?      
My favorite baseball moment has to be sweeping the Johnnies.
 
Why did you choose Carleton?      
I chose Carleton because it gave me the chance to continue playing baseball without sacrificing getting the best possible education.
 
Outside of athletics, what will you miss most about Carleton?  
What I'll miss most about Carleton is the friends we made along the way.
 
What else has your Carleton experience included?         
The biggest highlight of my Carleton experience was getting to spend a term in Milan. I also got to do my comps project about hockey analytics, which was something I've always wanted to research.
 
What is one piece of advice you would give to prospective student-athletes?   
Be smart, be safe, look out for each other, and moderation in your vices.
 
What is a favorite memory you have of your head coach?
My favorite memory of Coach Rushing is his calm and totally not livid reactions when I would continually mess up defensive plays.
 
Quote from Head Coach Aaron Rushing:
Clip is a very analytical player who will likely have a long career in sports after Carleton. He's a solid member of the pitcher-only group and has the distinction of being one of the few pitchers in college baseball history who recorded three decisions on the same day, winning two games and losing one.
