The cancellation of the 2020 Minor League Baseball season brought with it a year’s worth of lost development for virtually all of affiliated baseball. While no competitive games were played between minor league teams, many of the Mets’ top prospects found ways to get meaningful practice reps in at the team’s alternate site in Coney Island. Among the most noteworthy of these prospects was right-handed pitcher Matthew Allan, the team’s second best prospect and top pitching prospect. Allan reportedly impressed during his time at the alternate site during the 2020 season, and the Mets invited him to spring training in 2021 with an eye towards making up for development time lost last season.
