    Logan Koch, 2013 South Mecklenburg grad and a member of the 16U Dirtbags Camo, has committed to the South Carolina Gamecocks. Congratulations are in order for Logan and his parents, Donn and Ellen. Logan's hard work and determination has paid off in a big way. Great news for a well-liked and well-respected Charlotte baseball family!

    I met Logan when he was 13 yo. I remembered his visit to Coach May's Christmas Boot Camp that year being the only 13 yo in attendance. Now Kenny is not one to go overboard in his praise, but he is excellent in projecting talent...even young one's.

    This is what Coach May had to say about Logan in 2007:

    "2013 - Logan Koch - C/1B - Logan hits from the left side but also showed some hitting ability from the right side as well. He appears to be more of a natural left hand hitter. But if he sticks with it he could develop into a switch hitter. He has a nice compact approach. He hammers the baseball middle to outer half. He struggles a bit with pitches in on the hands and down and in. This is due to casting the arms a bit on his launch. He is very young and if he continues to work is going to be quite a hitter. He shows very good power for a kid his age. Stays on the baseball well. He has a chance to be very good down the road."

    Obviously Logan worked on his casting and worked hard to get where he is---one of the state's best catchers. Congratulations to the Koch family. Dad, Donn, is an excellent baseball resource with a great sense of humor. A lot of fun to be around....although he shows me no "love" anymore :bigsquaregrin:

    If you get a chance to be around Logan, you will leave impressed with not only being a talented baseball player, but a very polite, well mannered young man. It always seems the best players also are the best people off the field, too.

    Hard Work

    It would be hard to estimate the number of balls Donn has thrown to Logan over the years, but this Father/Son Team never, ever stopped working. Before everyone else, after everyone else, always following the philosophy that Hard Work Beats Talent When Talent Doesn't Work Hard. The only difference is when Talent Works Hard --- you get to go to USC and play baseball.

    Good luck, stick to your work ethic and enjoy the payoff.

    Congrats to Donn, Ellen, Marla and Logan.
