Cleveland Indians: Top 30 Prospects Countdown, 21-25

No. 25: Logan Allen

This might not be who you are thinking of since the Cleveland Indians have two Logan Allen’s on the roster and both are left-handed pitchers. This Logan Allen was selected by the Indians in the second round of the 2020 MLB Draft. Coming out of Florida International the left-handed pitcher is just 22-years old and will suit up in the minors for the first time this season.

Over three seasons with FIU, Allen pitched in 31 games while also playing 50 games at first base. While he is currently listed as a pitcher, that could open the door for him to change positions down the road. He was able to slash .297/.362/.410 over 229 at-bats, so if a position change happens then it could make sense.

The reason I bring up a potential position change is that Allen is only 6-foot flat which is a bit smaller for a major league pitcher. Being left-handed helps, but should he become blocked on his road to The Show, then he could be flexible and move back to first or give the outfield a try as well. Hopefully it doesn’t come to that and he can develop as a pitcher through the minors after going 11-12 on the mound for FIU.
