Touchette had a big freshman year for the Vols, hitting .433 with eight doubles, two home runs, and 27 RBI, whole also swiping 27 bags on the base paths. Cameron is expected to lead the Logan outfield once again this spring and should be a staple at the top of the lineup.

"I am proud of these three guys." Head Coach Kyle Surprenant said. "All three of these guys put in a lot of work this fall and had a lot of success. We are counting on these guys to be a big part of our success this spring. We are looking forward to having several other players sign during the spring. When it is all said and done I think we will have yet another year where we have over 10 players sign to NCAA DI schools."
Logan baseball opens up spring practice on January 10th, in preparation for their 2018 opener against Volunteer State, in Millington, TN, on February 10th.
