WVU Baseball Catcher Withdraws from MLB Draft, Returning to Mountaineers

In the midst of several of his teammates achieving their dreams of being drafted, Logan Sauve feels he still has unfinished business in college with WVU Baseball.

Ahead of the final day of the 2024 MLB Draft, Sauve announced he’s withdrawing his name from the draft and returning to West Virginia for another season.

“My dream has always been to play in Omaha and to play in the MLB. I’m taking my name out of the draft so I can chase my dream of helping take WVU Baseball to Omaha,” said Sauve on X (formerly Twitter).

“We are building something special in Morgantown. I look forward to playing for this state and university,” he added.
