Right-hander Logan Reddemann was selected with the 38th pick in the second round of the 2026 MLB draft by the Colorado Rockies on Saturday.
The junior exploded onto the draft scene after transferring to UCLA from San Diego, where he played his first two seasons of collegiate baseball and was selected to the All-WCC First Team twice.
Reddemann captured the Bruins’ Friday night starter role before the season began.
Fresh off a Big Ten tournament championship title, No. 1 seed UCLA baseball (51-6, 28-2 Big Ten) will host its second-straight NCAA tournament regional as Virginia Tech (30-24, 15-15 ACC), Cal Poly (36-22, 22-8 Big West) and Saint Mary’s (34-25, 15-12 West Coast) travel to Westwood.

The All-American junior shortstop did not leave the yard for three weeks before notching his 11th long ball of the season Sunday against the Trojans.
It might not have been their prettiest game, but the Bruins found a way to win once again.
They overcame four lead changes, three errors and two game-changing wild pitches to take down the Trojans and remain perfect in Big Ten conference play.
On a night, when their bats struggled to get going, the Bruins relied on alternative methods to win.
With free passes, good defense and excellent pitching, top-ranked UCLA proved why it is the best team in the nation even when it isn’t blasting home runs.
