Logsdon is a gritty solid baseball player and the son of a coach. Defensively he had clean hands and exchanges in the infield coupled with accurate throws. From the plate, Logsdon's hands work well as he has some bat speed. He has a balance approach from the left side. He registered 83 mph on his exit velocity a testament to his ability to make solid consistent contact. He is also a solid academic student athlete.
