Notre Dame dual-sport signee Brandon Logan has won a high school Gold Glove
Notre Dame dual-sport signee Brandon Logan has won a high school Gold Glove Notre Dame dual-sport signee Brandon Logan is having quite the summer, one that is showing how impressive of an athlete he is. The 6-foot and 185-pound in-state star will play both baseball and football for the Irish, and at the current moment he's participating in the MLB Draft Combine. Logan's efforts on the diamond are impressive, and on Wednesday Rawlings Baseball announced that he was one of nine high school players nationally that won a Gold Glove. Logan roamed the outfield for his Fort Wayne Snider team this spring, using his speed and instincts to be one of the best defenders in the nation. There is potential that he could get drafted next month, and then he'd have a big decision on his hands. While Logan could play both sports for Notre Dame, the opportunity to start his professional career might be too hard to pass up if drafted high enough. We will soon know if that is something he'll have to consider, but at the current moment, the Irish are getting a star at safety and a gold glover at centerfield.

Notre Dame's dual-sport star Brandon Logan set for MLB Draft Combine
Notre Dame's dual-sport star Brandon Logan set for MLB Draft Combine Notre Dame football offered 2027 Kentucky wide receiver Tyler Fryman a scholarship Monday evening despite him being currently committed to Louisville baseball. Another two-sport star is in the news as 2025 Fighting Irish baseball and football signee Brandon Logan is participating in the MLB Draft Combine this week in Phoenix. Last recruiting cycle, ND was able to flip Logan from a Vanderbilt baseball commitment. The 6-foot, 185-pound R Nelson Snider (Fort Wayne, IN) outfielder will have the chance to impress big league scouts, as 322 draft-eligible prospects—both high school and college players—will be in town leading up to the MLB Draft July 13. The Combine, which is in its third year, takes place from June 17-21 at Chase Field. Logan, who plays safety when on the gridiron, hit .389 with 7 home runs and 31 RBI this past spring as a senior. He was also among the state's leaders with 44 stolen bases. Fighting Irish right-handed pitcher Rory Fox (4-4, 3.58 ERA in 2025) is also in Arizona to do interviews, but he won't be throwing for scouts. In 65.1 innings, he struck out 64 batters and limited opponents to a .187 average.

Texas A&M to big leagues: 11 Aggies set to participate in MLB Draft Combine
Texas A&M to big leagues: 11 Aggies set to participate in MLB Draft Combine The Texas A&M baseball program will have five players and six signees from the 2025 class participate in the MLB Draft Combine this week. According to a report from GigEm247 reporter Carter Karels, left-handed pitchers Justin Lamkin, Myles Patton and Sgane Sdao, along with shortstop Kaeden Kent and center fielder Jace LaViolette, are the five Aggies who are set to compete at the combine, which kicks off Tuesday at Chase Field in Phoenix, Arizona. Three of those athletes are ranked in the top 200 draft prospects by with LaViolette now projected to be selected by the Milwaukee Brewers at the No. 20 spot in this year's draft. He capped off his collegiate career in his junior season with the Aggies this year with gutsy performances, such as playing through the SEC Tournament with a broken hand. The Katy, Texas, native slashed .285/.432/.651 during his time in College Station. Also included in the top 200 prospects rankings are two players from the 2025 class. Left-hander Johnny Slawinski (63rd) and outfielder Josiah Hartshorn (106th) round out Texas A&M baseball's prospects on the list. Joining Slawinski and Hartshorn from this year's recruiting class to enter the MLB Draft Combine are shortstops Nicholas Partida, Boston Kellner, and Matthew Boughton, along with outfielder Blaine Bullard. Every Texas A&M baseball player intending on participating in the combine is eligible to return to the program, depending on how they perform and where their draft stock trends over the coming days. There is no sugarcoating how the 2025 campaign ended for the Aggies was well below expectations set at the beginning of the year. Heading into this year's campaign, the club was ranked as the unanimous No. 1 team in the country during the preseason, which quickly faded as the program finished the season unranked and missed competing in the postseason for the first time since 2021. That mark left a sour taste in the mouths of Aggie fans across the country, as many continue to hope for head coach Michael Earley to turn things around in 2026. However, let's not get too ahead of ourselves here. The Aggies' skipper has done a tremendous job in the transfer portal, bringing in multiple top-rated portal prospects like former Florida Atlantic outfielder Jake Duer and pitcher MJ Bollinger. Earley's club also learned on Tuesday that outfielder Caden Sorrell will return for his junior season for the Aggies this year, which provides a major spark and depth to the Texas A&M outfield. The production lost to the MLB Draft is nothing to breeze over. Leaders like LaViolette and Kent, along with the 2025 signees, are huge hits to a program clamoring to make it back to the College World Series after reaching the championship game against Tennessee in 2024. Time will tell just how many players the program will lose to this year's MLB Draft, but it all depends on how they perform starting on Tuesday when the 2025 MLB Draft Combine commences.
