ROOKIE REVIEW
PBR DEBUT
New York Games (June 25-27, 2017)
SCOUTING REPORT
Athletic 5-foot-10, 180-pound right-hander, ran a 7.39/60. Offensively - keeps bat on a level plane through the strike zone out of an upright stance, repeatable motion, comfortable driving to middle third of the field with an exit velocity of 87 MPH; evidence of counter rotation between upper and lower torso but further lower body engagement will produce more power. Defensively - agile footwork, takes direct line to the ball, sets up well behind ball to generate momentum for an accurate throw at 81 MPH. Pitching - uses height to create a downward plane on fastball at 82-85 MPH, effectively changes eye level and works both sides of the plate for strikes; continued development of his secondary offerings will be him into a limited class of arms.
THOUGHTS ON THE FUTURE
"What stands out immediately with Logan is his short compact stroke into the zone with some easy effort explosiveness through the ball, both indicators that he will hit next level pitching. From the outfield his arm leads one to believe that there is more in the tank as the carry is present with limited effort. Showed some polish to his breaking ball and a clean arm working into the low 80's, clipping 85 MPH during his outing. The overall calm which he goes about things is scary for a 2020, as he matures and gets even stronger, expect some numbers to take a significant jump."
