Logan, Natchez native, is a former Major League Baseball centerfielder. He is a 1998 Natchez High grad and 2000 Copiah-Lincoln Community College grad.

Logan made his Major League debut July 21, 2004, with the Detroit Tigers against the Kansas City Royals. He was named the Tigers’ rookie of the year for 2004.

September 1, 2006, he was traded to the Washington Nationals.

Upon arriving in Washington, Logan immediately impressed with his spectacular catches and speed. Logan was recognized that year as the fastest player in Major League Baseball. He ended up hitting .300 and making several impressive catches in the field.

In 2007, Logan was the opening day centerfielder for the Nationals.

Nook Logan currently co-owns Change The Game Athletic Performance Enhancement & Motivational Speaking with former NFL players Sean Lewis and De’Von Hutchins. The company focus is “not only helping young people reach their goals, but also to provide mentoring, opportunities and leadership.”

Logan’s clinic has been teaching schools and camps for the past two years. While focusing on the fundamentals, the clinic will also teach leadership in the game.

“We want to provide students with the fundamentals and knowledge they need to be successful,” said Logan. “Baseball is a game of thinking, reacting and repeating fundamentals, so we are here to help them it.”

The camp will teach the fundamentals of fielding and throwing (infield/outfield); hitting, bunting, base running, pitching, catching, communication, competition, dynamic warms up, speed, agility and simulated live baseball action.
