(Pomona) – Logan Schmidt, a 6’4″, 210-pound left-hander out of Ganesha, has been drafted in the second round (number 59 pick overall) by the Cleveland Guardians in the MLB draft.

Schmidt has a fastball that is consistently in the 93-94 MPH range and has reached 98, a slider and a good breaking ball as well. Schmidt went 10-0 with an ERA of .087 last season as he helped lead Ganesha to the 2026 CIF Division 2 championship where they beat Loyola 6-3. He allowed just 15 hits all year. The Giants finished 26-3-1 on the season overall.

Schmidt, an LSU recruit, is one of the youngest players in the entire draft class at 17 years old. Schmidt was the 45th ranked prospect in the draft according to MLB pipeline.
