Matt Allan sat between 94-97 mph in his first bullpen session of the spring, marking a strong return after multiple Tommy John surgeries. Once considered the Mets’ top pitching prospect, the 23-year-old is fully healthy for the first time since 2021 and is looking impressive early in camp.

Fantasy Impact

Despite his electric velocity, Allan remains a long-term project after missing significant development time. While he’s still young enough to work his way back into the Mets' future plans, he’s unlikely to see MLB innings in 2025. Fantasy managers in dynasty leagues should keep an eye on his progress, but he’s not a factor in redraft leagues this season.

Matt Allan is expected to be pitching for a minor-league affiliate when camp breaks.

Fantasy Impact

Allan has not pitched since 2019 due to injuries, but he is currently considered fully healthy. It is possible he can work his way up to the majors with the Mets at some point this season.

New York Mets top pitching prospect Matt Allan has Tommy John surgery in May 2021 and had another procedure in January 2022 for Ulnar Transposition.

Fantasy Impact

Allan only has 10 professional innings under his belt after being drafted in 2019 by the New York Mets. 2020 was a lost season due to COVID, though reports were very positive about Allan's progression that season. He lost 2021 to Tommy John and will miss 2022 while still rehabbing from Tommy John and Ulnar Transposition.
