Jake Curtis is part of a Loggers baseball legacy. He was named first team All-American and also the Dick Dhabalt Athlete of the Year. The pitcher/second baseman was an integral part of the Loggers finishing in seventh place at the 2021 NJCAA national tournament. Jake’s father played on the Loggers’ fifth place finishing team in 1993, and his uncle also played Loggers baseball. Jake’s brother Eli will join the Loggers next year. Jake plans to follow his father’s and uncle’s lead in transferring to Memphis University to play baseball. A business major, Jake says he wasn’t the best player in high school, but his LLCC “coaches and teammates pushed me every day to get better.” He says LLCC “is literally one of my favorite places to be. When I go to sleep, I’m looking forward to coming back every day.” The 2022 Loggers have so far been ranked between No. 3 and No. 10 for the upcoming season. “Now it’s living up to the hype,” says Jake. “We’re in a good position to get where we want to go.” He hopes to play baseball at the professional level after college.
