Scouting report
This is 2020 draftee Logan Allen. The other Logan Allen lost rookie eligibility in 2020; his report can be found on the Graduates tab of The Board. This Allen's playerid number is sa3014444 and his birthday is September 5, 1998, for those of you who want to avoid guessing which one to click on when you search for him on the site. Allen was an undersized, pitchability high school lefty who worked 88-92, with mostly average secondary stuff and a changeup that flashed plus. He was a third or fourth rounder at that point, then posted fantastic numbers at FIU, on the Cape, and for Team USA, enabling Allen to move into the second round come draft time. Though his fastball only sits 88-91 at times, Allen is a great athlete (he played both ways in college) with a well-balanced, repeatable delivery and plus command projection, and he hides the ball well, which should enable him to work at that velocity without getting shelled. Cleveland has done wonders with many strike-throwing college pitchers with good command, and Allen has a shot to blow up if he starts throwing harder while focusing solely on pitching.
