COACHES' TAKE: “Logan established himself as a premiere pitcher in our conference as a freshmen earning NSIC Freshmen Pitcher of the Year honors. He had solid sophomore year at 7-2, but we need to get his era back closer to his first year. He’s hard worker that’s being reunited with his high school pitcher coach Josh Vorpahl, which really seems to have him back on track for a big junior year.”
