Allen also suited up with the Padres, Orioles and Diamondbacks in an MLB career which has spanned parts of five seasons. His most recent big league experience came with Arizona two years ago. Allen allowed a 5.46 earned run average over 28 innings.<\/p>\n<p>He signed with the KBO\u2019s NC Dinos last winter. Allen took the ball 32 times and logged 173 innings but didn\u2019t have great rate production. He allowed a 4.53 ERA in the pitcher-friendly league. That ranked 28th among the 38 KBO pitchers who reached 100 innings. Allen was 25th among the group with a 19.4% strikeout rate.<\/p>\n<p>KBO teams are limited to three foreign-born pitchers, one of whom must be from Australia or elsewhere in Asia. Given that restriction, it\u2019s not surprising the Dinos went in a different direction after Allen\u2019s middling season.

He got the WBC nod and pitched twice for Team Canada, working 3 1\/3 innings of one-run ball. He impressed Dodgers evaluators enough to instead land a new affiliated ball opportunity. He\u2019ll begin the season as rotation or long relief depth for Triple-A Oklahoma City.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Dodgers are in agreement with left-hander\u00a0Logan Allen on a minor league contract, reports Shi Davidi of Sportsnet.&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":632932,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2290],"tags":[5,4578],"class_list":["post-632931","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-baseball","tag-baseball","tag-logan-allen"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@mlb\/116259497355063979","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/632931","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=632931"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/632931\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/632932"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=632931"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=632931"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=632931"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
