Let's pretend Rob Whalen's debut never happened and focus on the best arm in the organization instead. I watched his outing today and he is special. That fastball/curveball combo is nasty. FB was sitting around 92-93 and touching 95 this afternoon.

Allard today at Rome: 6.1 IP, 1 R, 3 H, 1 BB, 11 SO

Here are all 11 strikeouts

Thanks for this post, I hadn't seen any film of him yet. That hook is nasty. Gonna be a stud health willing.

Probably my favorite prospect in the system. A lot of guys who are putting up good numbers but have back end type stuff and also a lot of guys with nasty stuff who are struggling to put good starts together.

He has nasty stuff and he knows how to pitch. I love watching him every 5th day.

I saw him pitch live for Danville last month. He looked good. No radar gun there so I couldnt tell how hard he threw but you could tell he wasnt going to stay in Rookie ball for long.
