Oakland Athletics infielder Nick Allen isn't a lock to open the 2023 season as the team's starting shortstop, according to general manager David Forst. Allen is probably still the favorite for the 6 to open the regular season, but Aledmys Diaz could also be pushing him for playing time at the position. The 24-year-old Allen is solid defensively, but his bat is lagging behind. In his first 100 big-league games for the A's in 2022, he slashed .207/.256/.291 with a .547 OPS, four home runs, 19 RBI, 31 runs scored and three stolen bases in 326 plate appearances. Allen should only be a middle infield option for those in AL-only leagues in 2023.
Oakland Athletics shortstop prospect Nick Allen will report to Spring Training as a non-roster invitee. The No. 4 prospect in the A's system is a candidate to earn a starting role after shortstop Marcus Semien and second baseman Tommy La Stella departed Oakland. Allen has never played above High-A, so his chances of being on the roster for Opening Day are low. However, with a middle infield combo of Chad Pinder and Vimael Machin currently slated to start, Allen could force his way into the Majors this season. The 22-year-old is a defense-first shortstop with little power so he's not a must-roster player in dynasty leagues. His primary asset in the Majors will be his speed so those seeking steals in deeper roto leagues should monitor Allen's progress in Spring Training.
