La Crosse Loggers News Release
LA CROSSE, WIS. - The La Crosse Loggers went back to a familiar well in the Iowa Hawkeyes baseball program this week when they added catcher Reese Moore and then went back to a familiar family when they inked infielder Brayden Jefferis from the University of Michigan to bolster their 2025 roster.
Red-shirt sophomore Reese Moore is back in the middle of the Hawkeyes lineup this spring following an all-Big Ten performance during the 2024 season. The left-handed hitting backstop hit .287 while driving in 32 runs and scoring 40 times over 51 games played for Iowa, good enough to earn him third team all-Big Ten honors and he was named to the Big Ten All-Freshmen Team. The Van Meter, Iowa native, who was ranked as the No. 3 prospect by Perfect Game coming out of high school in the 2023 class, was a multi-sport standout in high school earning all-state honors in football and wrestling on two separate occasions on top of this three-time all-state baseball selections.
Joining Moore from the Big Ten will be freshman infielder Brayden Jefferis from the University of Michigan. Brayden will become the second Jefferis to dawn a Logger uniform as his older brother, Cody, led the 2019 Loggers in at-bats (258), hits (79) and runs scored (56) while hitting .306. Brayden is in the midst of his rookie season with the Wolverines after a highly decorated high school career at Hart High School (Valencia, Calif.). The left-handed hitting Jefferis is no stranger to summer collegiate baseball either as he earned all-star honors in 2024 when he hit .403 for San Luis Obispo Blues of the California Collegiate League.
Season tickets and flex plans are on sale now for the Loggers 2025 season with information on both found at LaCrosseLoggers.com. Fans can also visit the Loggers office at 1225 Caledonia Street, La Crosse between 8:30-5, Monday thru Friday.
