Dunn, the second leading hitter for the Tigers last season, posted a .455 batting average and a .727 slugging percentage and was one of four players with double digit runs batted in. The Tigers season was shortened last year but Dunn still made an impression with his stellar play in the field and at the plate. &#8220;Logan is a great player and one of the best I&#8217;ve coached at the shortstop position,&#8221; said Head Tiger Baseball Coach Drew Conley. &#8220;He has the tools to be really special at the next level and it will be exciting to see what he does.&#8221;<\/h4>\n<h4>Dunn will look to lead the Tigers this season as Mount Pleasant graduated nine seniors off last year&#8217;s squad. He was selected Sophomore of the Year for the district two seasons ago and would have earned more accolades last year if the season wasn&#8217;t cut short due to Covid. &#8220;I love the atmoshpere and campus at NTCC and I have great chemistry with the coaches and that always helps,&#8221; said Dunn. &#8220;I feel honored they recruited me and can&#8217;t wait to be there!&#8221;<\/h4>\n<h4>NTCC is part of the National Junior College Athletic Association as a Division I program.
