Washington State grad transfer outfielder Logan Johnstone committed to Vanderbilt baseball, he announced on social media June 21.
The All-Mountain West first team selection hit .337 in 2025 with 17 doubles, nine home runs and as many walks as strikeouts. He started his college career at Gonzaga.
He has gotten off to a hot start in the MLB Draft League, hitting .400 across nine games.
Johnstone has split his time between all three outfield positions in college but has played exclusively center field in summer ball.
Outfield is Vanderbilt’s biggest positional need. Jacob Humphrey is out of eligibility and RJ Austin is likely to be selected in the MLB draft. JD Rogers and RJ Hamilton entered the transfer portal, leaving Braden Holcomb, David Mendez and Rustan Rigdon as the only players on the roster with significant outfield experience. The Commodores have two incoming freshmen at the position, Sean Gamble and Slater de Brun, but both are draft risks.
Johnstone is the third transfer commit this offseason, following Cornell infielder Max Jensen and Princeton pitcher Jacob Faulkner.
