Jumping 14 spots this year, Greg Allen makes his top 10 debut on a Cleveland Indians prospect list. He tied for the highest jump among prospects who were on our 2016 top 30 prospect list.
Allen joined the Indians as a sixth round pick back in 2014 out of San Diego State University. The California native is a switch-hitting outfielder who stands 6-feet tall and weighs just 175 pounds.
The 24-year-old had a very busy 2016 season that began at Advanced-A Lynchburg where he was an All-Star. He was then promoted to Double-A Akron, helping them win the Eastern League Championship before capping off the year in the Arizona Fall League, where he was named a top prospect and helped his team there win a championship.
