The episode also dives deep into the personal side of Logan’s journey. He reflects on the powerful influence of his late father, the family sacrifices behind every season, and how playing multiple sports shaped his athletic foundation. Logan talks openly about the transition out of baseball, building a new routine around fatherhood, supporting his kids’ dreams, and rediscovering purpose after the grind of the majors. His perspective is equal parts honest, grounded, and motivating — offering a rare look at the highs, lows, and humanity behind a career in the game.
