The Draft concludes on Wednesday, with exclusive coverage of Rounds 11-40 beginning on MLB.com at 9 a.m. PT.

Round 3 (81st overall), Nick Allen, SS, Francis Parker High School (San Diego)
Allen, though small in size at 5-foot-9, is known to have a great glove and has drawn consistent praise for his range, arm and feet. He hit .297 with 10 doubles and 17 steals as a senior this season.

Allen, who has a college commitment to USC, lacks power but has the potential to hit for decent power while relying on his speed and aggressiveness on the bases.
