The Atlanta Braves have added a young Canadian arm, signing right-hander Logan Cummins to a minor league contract and assigning him to the Florida Complex League Braves, according to his transaction page.
The deal was recorded this week, with the assignment to the FCL club following a day later, according to his transaction log on MiLB.com.
Cummins, listed as Logan Quinn William Cummins, has not yet reported and has no professional statistics. At 17, he is a developmental signing rather than a near-term big-league piece, but the profile is the kind Atlanta has chased in the lower minors: an athletic pitcher with a climbing fastball and room to fill out.
Born October 15, 2008, in Mississauga, Ontario, Cummins is 6-foot-2 and 192 pounds and throws and bats right-handed on the club’s listing.
He attended St. Joan of Arc Catholic Secondary in Mississauga and came up through the Ontario travel circuit, including the Ontario Giants and the Ontario Blue Jays program.
Scouting sites also carried him as a switch-hitting shortstop, and he spent time on Baseball Canada’s junior national team roster as a right-handed pitcher and infielder.
The arm is what drew the interest. Showcase reports through 2025 and 2026 tracked a fastball that progressed from the upper 80s into the low 90s, with Perfect Game listing a peak of 92 mph.
Prep Baseball Ontario, covering a 2026 look, described him as one of the better arm talents in Canada, noting a fastball that reached 91–93 mph with arm-side run, a slider with late bite in the upper 70s to low 80s, and a changeup in the mid-80s with arm-side fade.
Earlier bullpens had him pairing an 89–91 mph fastball with a slider and changeup while throwing plenty of strikes. He had committed to Kansas State in October 2025.
He has already pitched on a notable stage at home. At the Canadian Futures Showcase at Rogers Centre in September 2025, Cummins worked three innings for Team Grey in a 6–3 win over Team New Blue and struck out five.
Afterward, he said he was comfortable with his changeup and other off-speed pitches, and that he limited walks even without his best velocity.
For the Braves, the signing fits a familiar pattern: take a projectable amateur before the velocity fully settles, put him in the complex league, and see whether the secondary pitches and strike-throwing hold up against professional hitters.
Cummins will not help a club that finished 94–68 and won the National League East in 2026. The bet is longer.
If the fastball continues to tick up and the slider and changeup play in games, Atlanta will have added another Canadian arm to a system that has repeatedly mined the amateur ranks for pitching depth.
