The Seattle Mariners drafted Saline High School graduate Logan Evans in the 12th round of the Major League Baseball draft on July 11.
Evans is a 22-year-old, 6'5 right-hander who pitched for Penn State for two years before going to Pittsburgh. Evans pitched just 22 1/3 innings for Penn State before moving to Pittsburgh, where he saw much more action. This year he pitched in 11 games, starting nine, going 5-3 with a 6.98 ERA. He struck out 42 batters in 49 innings and walked 19.
This summer, he's played in the Cape Cod Summer League for the Bourne Braves. He was 0-2 with a 4.50 ERA in three starts, striking out 12 and walking three in 14 innings.
As a Hornet, Evans was a member of the 2017 state champion team. As a senior he was named first-team Division 1. Evans played varsity basketball and had a great tournament for the 2018 Hornet team that upset Huron and Pioneer in the district tournament before falling to the eventual state champions from Ypsilanti-Lincoln.
