Logan Allen's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

Cleveland Guardians left-hander Logan Allen will be in search of some improved results on Thursday when he takes on the hosting Atlanta Braves. The 25-year-old owns a 5.06 ERA through five starts on the season, allowing at least three earned runs while pitching fewer than six innings in four of his five outings. Aside from six shutout innings over the Mariners on April 3, Allen has otherwise yielded 15 earned runs across 20 2/3 innings of work. There is a chance for positive regression moving forward considering Allen's 4.23 xFIP and 4.31 SIERA on the season, figures well below his surface ERA. Of course, he'll have his hands full against a Braves lineup that ranks first in baseball with a .363 wOBA on the season.

Cleveland Guardians starting pitcher Logan Allen blanked the Seattle Mariners in Wednesday's 8-0 blowout victory, spinning 6 2/3 scoreless innings on four hits and three walks with six strikeouts and tallying a win. Allen is now 2-0 on the infant season, scattering three singles and a double in what was one of the most impressive starts of his young career. The 25-year-old left-hander is battling with veteran Carlos Carrasco to maintain a spot in Cleveland's rotation after Gavin Williams (elbow) returns from right elbow inflammation, but Allen is starting to pull away in the competition via a 2.31 ERA and 1.11 WHIP while fanning nine covering his first 11 2/3 frames of the year. He'll have a great chance to build on his early-2024 success in his next scheduled start next Tuesday, when the Guardians host the division-rival Chicago White Sox.

Cleveland Guardians left-hander Logan Allen is enduring a rough spring as he looks to build upon what was a strong debut in the 2023 season. The 25-year-old was rocked for six earned runs on eight hits, including a pair of homers, and two walks against three strikeouts in his final spring tune-up against the Cincinnati Reds on Sunday, elevating his spring ERA to 5.50 across five starts and 18 innings of work. However, Allen enjoyed an impressive rookie season that saw him work to a 3.81 ERA across 24 starts in the 2023 season, although his 4.49 SIERA suggests he wasn't quite as effective as his surface ERA might suggest. He has a track record of putting up big strikeout numbers in his minor-league career but he only posted an 18.2% K% this spring, suggesting it may take some time for him to generate consistent punchouts at the big-league level.

The Arizona Diamondbacks signed free-agent left-hander Logan Allen to a minor-league deal on Tuesday. The deal includes an invitation to major-league spring training. Allen didn't surface at all in the big leagues in 2023, instead pitching for the Triple-A affiliates with the Colorado Rockies and Seattle Mariners, where he went 6-2 with a 5.77 ERA, 1.74 WHIP, 56 walks and 99 strikeouts in 103 innings pitched over his 38 appearances (10 starts). The 26-year-old southpaw will be looking to get back in the majors in a relief role in 2024, but he'll most likely start the year at Triple-A Reno. In Allen's four major-league campaigns with the San Diego Padres, Cleveland Guardians and Baltimore Orioles, he's posted a 5.89 ERA (5.62 FIP) and 1.66 WHIP while striking out only 15.5 percent of the batters he faced.
