STANFORD, Calif. -- Logan James went off the 2015 MLB First-Year Player Draft board in the 31st round to the Seattle Mariners. James joins Drew Jackson (Seattle, fifth round), Marc Brakeman (Boston, 16th round) and Zach Hoffpauir (Arizona, 22nd round) as Cardinal to be drafted.
James, a native of Fair Oaks, California, could be a valuable piece to a professional club, as the left-hander features a low-90s fastball along with above-average off-speed stuff. He has gone 8-11 with a 4.93 ERA during 144.1 innings in his career, while making 13 starts and appearing 45 times out of the bullpen.
An asset to Stanford’s 2014 Super Regional run, James has struck out 117 batters in his career, but has battled control issues, walking 85. Opponents bat just .240 off the lefty.
James saved a career high and Stanford best four games in 2015, all coming against NCAA tournament teams. He finished games against Indiana, Rice, Texas and California, while also earning wins against Nevada and San Diego.
The science, technology and society major has one year of eligibility left.
