The Book on Brandon Allen
Prospect Info
Brandon Allen
Born 1/12/1986
1B, ARZ
A hulking first baseman from Texas, Allen has serious pop in his bat. Drafted out of high school back in 2004, Allen has done nothing but grow bigger and hit baseballs farther and farther ever since. He hit .283/.337/.483 for Kannapolis in 2008, with 18 homers and 124 strikeouts in 516 ABs. While he struggled against lefties, he destroyed righthanders to the tune of a .656 slugging percentage. He squeaked out a meager .202 average in 202 at-bats with the Diamondbacks at the end of 2009, but his upside is much better than that. The four homers and seven doubles he hit in September are more indicative of his real ability.
