Earlier this offseason we got confirmation that a solid contingent of Guardians players will be participating in next spring’s World Baseball Classic headlined by top prospect Travis Bazzana.
On Tuesday, we found out yet another Guardian will be playing in baseball’s marquee event thanks to left-handed starter Logan Allen committing to pitch for Panama (Allen has Panamanian descent through his mother). The move was confirmed by Panamanian journalist Memphys Colina.
While Allen has been a middle-of-the-rotation starter for the Guardians, he’s going to be the staff ace for a Panama team that’s looking to make some noise in the World Baseball Classic.
