http://tinyurl.com/mjsaca No. 1 BRANDON ALLEN, 1B DIAMONDBACKS Team: Triple-A Reno (Pacific Coast) Age: 23 Why He's Here: .385/.500/1.000 (10-for-26), 5 HR, 1 2B, 10 RBIs, 8 R, 6 BB, 3 SO, 3-for-3 SB The Scoop: Making a positive first impression on a new employer is always important. No need to tell that to Allen, though, as the Diamondbacks' newly acquired first baseman smacked five home runs on the week, catapulting himself to the top of this week's Prospect Hot Sheet. Allen needed time to adjust to pro ball after the White Sox made him a fifth-round pick in 2004, but he broke out last year, hitting 29 home runs between high Class A and Double-A, and he's continued that trend into 2009. Allen is up to 15 home runs for the season, having hit eight before being traded and seven already in 12 games with Reno. He hit three homers in four games against Sacramento, one of the PCL's better pitching staffs, then homered in back-to-back games against Portland, including a two-homer game Wednesday. Allen's hit tool has been coming around as well. A .256 lifetime hitter coming into the season, he's hitting .296 in 338 at-bats between stops at Double-A and Triple-A this year. He's registered hits in 11 of his 12 games since joining the Aces, and his strikeout rate has fallen markedly, as he's only fanned in 65 times in 88 games this year, down from his career rate of more than a strikeout per game entering the year. -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 140.112.5.3
