It wasn’t the end of his UCLA Bruins tenure that right-handed pitcher Logan Reddemann had in mind. The UC San Diego transfer wound up making just 10 starts as a Bruin but Reddemann is returning to the mound ahead of the MLB Draft.
Reddemann was shut down in late April with arm fatigue and never returned to the mound for the Bruins. UCLA head coach John Savage rumored that Reddemann could be an option out of the bullpen in the postseason for the Bruins but he never got that opportunity after UCLA was bounced in the NCAA regional in Los Angeles.
Now Reddemann is prepping for this summer’s MLB Draft, where he’ll be viewed as one of the top college arms in the draft. MLB.com has Reddemann as the No. 28 player in the draft but as the No. 8 college pitcher available.
MLB.com writer Jim Callis reported earlier this week that Reddemann threw 23 pitches of live batting practice on Monday and that the right-hander plans to throw at the MLB Draft Combine next Wednesday.
Reddemann certainly has shown elite stuff at the college level. This year at UCLA, Reddemann went 8-0 with a 2.87 earned run average, striking out 84 batters in 59.2 innings.
Reddemann was even better as a sophomore with UC San Diego, but Reddemann still struggled to stay on the mound, posting a 2.29 ERA in 55 innings with a 3-1 record in his 2025 collegiate season.
Over his three college seasons, Reddemann has thrown only 191 innings but those innings have been of such a high quality that Reddemann could wind up being a first round pick in next month’s draft.
