The 2026 Major League Baseball draft is just around the corner.

After picking eighth overall in the 2025 draft, the Toronto Blue Jays’ first selection on July 11th will be the 39th overall pick. While the probability of finding an All-Star calibre player diminishes quite a lot from the eighth overall pick, there are still good players to be found around this spot.

One player who could possibly be available 39th overall is Logan Reddemann. In MLB.com latest mock draft, they had the Jays selecting the right-handed pitcher, though they note that he could go higher thanks to a strong season before an injury in late April.

With that being said, let’s take a look at the 28-year-old’s scouting report, his statistics, and what he could offer the Blue Jays if they are to draft him.

Scouting report

Reddemann stands at 6’2”, 185 lbs and is 21 years old. The right-handed pitcher attended the University of California, Los Angeles last season, after two seasons at the University of San Diego.

MLB Pipeline ranks Reddemann as their 28th-best draft prospect, featureing a 60-grade fastball, which sits in the mid-90s and can reach a tick below triple digits. The 21-year-old also features a cutter, changeup, slider, and curveball.

His cutter is his most-often used secondary and sits in the high-80s and lower-90s, with Pipeline grading it above-average. Similarly, his changeup has a 55 grade and sits in the mid-80s. The slider is grade 50, and his curveball is fringe, given a 45 grade.

What really stands out about Reddemann is his control. Despite sitting in the mid-90s and touching a tick under triple-digits, the right-handed pitcher is a strike thrower, as Pipeline gives him a control grade of 60.

This, to me, screams high floor and intriguing ceiling. In late April, he suffered arm fatigue and missed the remainder of the season, which could hamper his draft stock. That said, how’d he perform in his three collegiate seasons?

The statistics

Reddemann’s freshman season was in 2024 with San Diego, posting a 4.01 ERA and 4.53 FIP in 76.1 innings pitched. Of his 15 appearances, 13 were starts, where he finished the season with a 20.5 K% and 5.9 BB%.

His numbers improved across the board in 2025 with San Diego, authoring a 2.29 ERA and 4.12 FIP in 55 innings of work. The righty appeared in fewer games, making nine starts in 11 outings, but he finished the season with a 23.2 K% and 5.3 BB%.

Transferring to UCLA, Reddemann dominated for the Bruins in 2026. Over 10 starts, the right-handed pitcher was a perfect 8-0, finishing the year with a 2.87 ERA and 2.68 FIP in 59.2 innings pitched. The command was still there, finishing with a 4.7 BB%, but his K% jumped drastically to 35.7%.

If not for the arm injury toward the end of the season, Reddemann wouldn’t even be in the conversation to be drafted by the Blue Jays.

What Reddemann can offer the Blue Jays

Reddemann is a right-handed pitcher with good stuff and equally good control. It’s easy to envision him as a mid-rotation starter, with the potential to be even better. Much like Trey Yesavage, Reddemann is a polished prospect and could be in the big leagues by 2028 if all goes well.

The old adage goes that a team can never have too much pitching, and adding another talented starter in the prospect pool will make it that much better. If Reddemann is available when the Jays pick 39th, there’s a strong change he’ll be the best pitcher available, so they’d be wise to pick the starter.
