Q&A with Unsigned Senior with Cooper Logsdon, MIF, Jenison HS, 2013



Cooper Logsdon, SS/MIF, Jenison HS, 2014

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.


PBR: Where are you currently in the recruiting process?

Logsdon: Lately I've been getting some good interest from a couple D2 schools and quite a few D3 schools. I've been setting up visits and am looking for the right fit academically and athletically.

 

PBR: What level of baseball do you see yourself playing at the next level? 
Logsdon: I think I can play D2 with the right fit school, but I'm fine with playing at the D3 level where I know I can contribute right away.

 

PBR: What schools are you most interested in right now, and why?
Logsdon: I'm not leaning towards any particular school right now as I'm waiting to complete some visits and meet the coaches to figure out the best fit for me.

 

PBR: Have you received some interest since attending the showcase? 
Logsdon: Yes a few schools have contacted me.

 

PBR: What aspect of your game do you believe needs the most improvement?
Logsdon: I'd like to improve on my speed as well as my arm strength.

PBR: Who is the toughest pitcher you have faced in the state?  
Logsdon: Blake Hibbits who's at CMU now. He had a dominant fastball that was well located and he could break off a good curveball when he needed to.

 

PBR: What are your high school team goals for the 2012 season? 
Logsdon: Our goal is to win the OK White conference in the regular season. In the post season we believe we have the talent to win a state title.
