Saskatchewan has seen some players make a major league roster with Muenster’s Logan Hofmann hoping he is the next.
On Thursday night, the Pittsburgh Pirates took the 5’10, 190 pound right-handed pitcher in the 5th round of the Major League Baseball draft as he was the 138th overall pick.
Hofmann was 4-0 with no earned runs, 38 strikeouts and five walks in 28 innings for Northwestern State this spring. He was named a second-team All-American.
Before joining Northwestern State, which is based in Natchitoches, Louisiana, Hofmann played two seasons at Colby Community College. He was taken by the St. Louis Cardinals in the 35th round of the 2019 MLB Draft but did not sign and instead elected to return to college for his 2020 campaign.
