Uncommitted Senior Spotlight
Edwin Allen is a 2024 OF out of Cardinal Gibbons HS in the Triangle area. Allen was a consistent performer in 2023 who continued to see his metrics tick up while also seeing their application in game settings rise as well. A good athlete, Allen has run a sub-6.90 sixty while also turning in advanced average bat speed numbers with an exit velocity over 93mph. While right handed hitting outfielders can be some of the final prospects to complete college rosters, look for Allen to be a prospect that could impact a college roster when he sets foot on campus.
