“Logan is an athletic outfielder that can play all three outfield positions,” Goldeyes’ manager Rick Forney said. “He’s coming off a good offensive campaign with Amarillo. He’s a patient hitter who produced a .300-plus batting average and a .400-plus on-base percentage. The fact that he is a good base runner who had a ton of steals is a bonus.”

Vick will be entering his fifth season of professional baseball. The 25-year-old Texan was selected by the Cleveland Indians in the 11th round of the 2012 draft and played four seasons in the team’s farm system, reaching the High-A Carolina League twice. Vick has also been invited to the Indians’ spring training game the last three seasons.
