5-foot-10, 150 pounds, average athletic build and proportions with room to fill out the upper and lower halves. The shoulders have slope, should support plenty of strength gains, and as a freshman he is just beginning to mature physically. As an infielder, Allen exhibited soft hands with comfort on the forehand and backhand. The glove is fluid while tracking the ball. His natural release point is a ¾ slot, and his throws across the diamond were measured up to 66 MPH. A spike in arm strength could make third base an option moving forward. At the plate, he works from a slightly open, upright stance. The hands start high, above the shoulders with a toe tap that starts the swing. The bat path is level with a line drive oriented approach. As he develops, gap-to-gap power should follow. The swing is controlled and consistent, and his tee exit velocity was clocked up to 67 MPH. As a right-handed pitcher, Allen’s delivery starts with the hands high and he throws from a ¾ slot. He gets solid extension on the stride and was on time when progressing through power position to point of release.The fastball was clocked at 71 mph, located it down in the zone. The secondary offerings are good, breaking ball shows good spin clocked at 58-61 MPH and changeup was 62-66 MPH with fade and action to arm side. Overall strength is a must for development, keep an eye on.
