2019 Draft Preview No. 5: Prep School Pitchers

6’3”, 210 lbs

Bats/Throws: Right/Right

DOB: 17 April 2001 (Happy Birthday!)

So, what’s so great about this guy?

Last year, Carter Stewart was the first-round pitching talent with the big helium, who began the spring of 2018 with a top 40ish sort of pedigree and ended up in the top ten overall. This year that honour belongs to Matt Allan, who came into the summer showcases last year with light buzz and left with his name on pretty much everyone’s lips. He’s continued to rise this spring, and right now might be the number one high school pitcher in the nation.
