Bio:
Height: 6-3
Weight: 190 lbs
Hits/Throws: R-R
Hometown: Fort Pierce, FL
School: John Carroll Catholic
Short and compact to the ball, Allen has good bat-to-ball skills. His physique doesn't have much physical projection left, though he's already muscled-up. Allen is a 70 runner and plays a plus centerfield. Top of the order spark plug. The biggest question surrounding Allen right now might be what sport he's going to play. He's an impressive football recruit, but if selected high, the opportunity to play baseball may be too much to pass up.

Jay Allen is a 2021 OF/ with a 6-3 190 lb. frame from Fort Pierce, FL who attends John Carroll Catholic. Outstanding athletic build with lots of room to continue to get stronger. Didn't run the sixty but a plus runner on the field. Loose arm in the outfield with good carry and was consistently on top of the ball, accurate one-hop throws, centerfield potential. Right handed hitter, hits from an wide base with a busy front leg trigger, loose and ultra fast hands create easy barrel whip, occasionally out front too early but there will be few fastballs thrown past him, ball comes off the barrel hard, really squared up the ball well in games against high velocity pitching. One of the top three-sport athletes in the country if not the top one. Highest level ceiling if he dedicates himself to baseball.
Jay Allen – OF: Dynamic 2 sport athlete on his way to Florida to play WR unless an MLB team can sway him away with an early draft selection. Allen really has everything you want. Natural Plus (60) defender in CF, Plus (60) Speed, and a projectable bat that shows a chance to be a middle of the order producer or a top of the order bat depending on how his body develops moving forward. And if he ever gets to 100% focus on baseball, the tools might take another leap forward.
