A breakout ‘26 campaign continued for Allen as he looked the part across the board. Quality at-bats across the week including a double and triple in GM3 where he earned player of the game honors as he paced the offense to a win. Athletic 5-foot-11, 170-pounds with lean strength and present tools throughout. Utilizes a quiet, balanced setup in a quick trigger while staying compact with barrel accuracy from a linear path. Good rhythm in the load while working from the ground-up with fluid hands and ability to find consistent contact across multiple parts of the zone. Line-drive oriented approach with innate bat-to-ball skills and lives in both gaps. Bouncy, fluid footwork in the dirt with soft hands and advanced instincts should allow him to profile at the keystone long-term. Allen boasts the type of game traits and intangibles that you simply bet on, and looks to bring immediate value to success at the next level.

Uncommitted. It was good hacks all night long from the Pickens shortstop. Wiry strength and athleticism in the lean 5-foot-10, 155-pour frame. Allen would come through with an RBI knock late as he sent a rocket back-up-the-middle. The LHH stays well-connected as he gets into his lower half well with direct hands to the ball and feel for the barrel in an on-plane path. The high-floor profile continues as Allen boasts an impact glove up-the-middle and at the 6. Lateral quickness jumps off the page with soft hands as well and made multiple tough plays on the night with ease. Possesses plenty of athleticism to stick up-the-middle long-term and will provide immense value while offering versatility in the dirt for the Dragons this Spring. The uncommitted junior is one to buy stock in now as a big spring campaign appears to be well under way with much more to tap into.
