Logan Allen

Allen bounced back from a rough season by logging career highs in workload and producing a noticeably better ERA, dropping to 4.25 after finishing at 5.73 the previous year. The underlying estimators did not change much, as both xFIP and SIERA were nearly identical across the two seasons, suggesting the improvement came elsewhere. His strikeout and walk rates held steady, but his home run rate was slashed in half. While some of that reduction was driven by favorable HR/FB variance, a pitch mix change also mattered. Allen scaled back his four-seamer and leaned more heavily on his sinker, which did not surrender a single home run. The overall profile still hinges on a modest 8.9 percent K-BB% over the past two seasons, limiting his ceiling, but if the home run gains hold, Allen fits comfortably into the streaming tier.
