    View Draft Report
    Allen was a notable two-way prospect out of Jenkins High in Lakeland, Fla., and ranked at the back end of the 2018 BA 500. He’s improved his draft stock after three seasons with South Carolina, where he’s been a hitter only, and early this spring was one of the more impressive bats in the SEC. Through his first 18 games Allen hit .324/.405/.592 with four three-hit games, though he cooled off in the second half and finished with a .276/.375/.516 slash line. Allen has played all three outfield positions for South Carolina, but profiles best in a corner at the next level. He’s a solid runner, but not a burner and his best tool might be his above-average raw power, which should give him a chance to profile in a corner. Allen does have a solid approach at the plate and walked 12% of the time compared to an 18% strikeout rate, but most scouts view him as a power-over-hit bat. Each SEC team gets scouted heavily every year, but South Carolina was particularly loaded with draft prospects this spring and Allen was one of the better performers among the bats. He looks like a solid Day Two selection whose range will be determined by a team’s conviction in his hit tool.
