One of the top high school baseball players in the country is committed to LSU – though he may never see the campus due to the MLB Draft.
California left-handed pitcher Logan Schmidt committed to LSU today, giving the Tigers a prized piece in their 2026 recruiting class.
Schmidt is a big boy. He stands 6-foot, 4-inches and weighs 215 pounds. He just turned 17. He has plus-command and can locate as high as 95 mph right now, according to baseball scouts.
Schmidt is expected to have his choice between college and the MLB Draft next summer. LSU has done a good job in recent years of taking talented players and getting them to enroll in Baton Rouge through NIL funds and also their track record for player development.
