Many talented players from the region have come through Baseball Factory's program including Taylorsville native Logan Galliher.  In 2010, Logan attended an Under Armour Baseball Factory National Tryout, where his performance earned him a selection to the 2010 Arizona Senior Fall Classic and the prestigious 2011 Under Armour Preseason All-America Tournament.  Past Pre-Season All-Americans include David Wright, of the New York Mets; BJ Upton, of the Tampa Bay Rays and Charlotte Knights alums Gavin Floyd and Lastings Milledge.  Logan, primarily an outfielder, graduated from Alexander Central High School this past spring and has continued his academic and baseball success at Erskine College.

Baseball Factory's staff of professional scouts, former professional players, and former college coaches will evaluate players on the field and lead a college recruiting question and answer session.  Those in attendance will learn about the college recruiting process and the steps players should take in order to increase their chances of playing college baseball and receiving scholarships.
