Loggers Add Talented Trio from Hawaii<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

Rainbows Pipeline Continues to La Crosse<\/em><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

LA CROSSE, WIS. \u2013\u00a0<\/strong>The La Crosse Loggers bolstered their 2024 roster today when team officials announced the signing of a talented trio from the University of Hawaii in outfielder Matt Miura, infielder Elijah Ickes and pitcher Brayden Marx.<\/p>\n

Sophomore outfielder Matt Miura is preparing for 2024 on the heels of earning all-league honors in the Cal Ripken League last summer after he hit .388 with 24 RBI\u2019s and walked 22 times compared to only six strikeouts.\u00a0 The 6-0, 185-pound athletic outfielder also led the team with 17 stolen bases.\u00a0 Miura, a Honolulu, Oahu native, saw action in 23 games as a true freshman for Hawaii last spring, hitting .222 with 10 runs scored and four stolen bases.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Joining Miura will be fellow Rainbow Elijah Ickes who is also coming off of a summer to remember himself in 2023.\u00a0 As a high school senior, the slick-fielding shortstop was tabbed as the Top Prospect in the West Coast Collegiate League last summer after hitting .277 over 48 games played and he also stole 11 bases.\u00a0 Ickes was highly coveted coming out of high school when the Texas Rangers selected him in the 19th<\/sup>\u00a0round of the 2023 MLB first-year player draft.\u00a0 Ickes, who was named the 2023 Hawaii Gatorade Player of the Year in the state, declined the Rangers offer to stay home and play for the Rainbows.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>The third member of the Hawaii trio coming to La Crosse is hard-throwing right-hander Brayden Marx from Pleasant Grove, Utah.\u00a0 Armed with a fastball that sits in the low-to-mid 90\u2019s Marx was ranked as the second best right-handed pitching prospect coming out of Utah for the class of 2023 according to Perfect Game and was a Futures Game participant while in high school.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Miura, Ickes, Marx and the rest of the Loggers will open their 2024 campaign on May 27 when they travel west to Mankato, Minn. to take on the MoonDogs.\u00a0 The 2024 home opener is set for May 29 at Copeland Park & Events Center.\u00a0 Season tickets and ticket packages for the 22nd\u00a0<\/sup>season of Loggers Baseball are on sale now with information available at\u00a0www.lacrosseloggers.com<\/a>\u00a0or by calling the Loggers ticket office at 608-796-9553.\u00a0 Fans can also visit the Loggers office at 1225 Caledonia Street, La Crosse between 8:30-5, Monday thru Friday.<\/p>\n
