The D-backs multi-use reliever is embracing his duty in keeping the bullpen fresh.
Diamondbacks left-handed reliever Logan Allen has gone relatively under the radar as a contributor to Arizona's success. In reality, he's served a necessary role, albeit in a behind-the-scenes fashion.
Inside the Diamondbacks had a chance to catch up with Allen and discuss his ability to pitch whenever called upon in order to help save other relievers' arms. Regardless, he approaches it with a positive attitude. Allen sees his chance to help keep Arizona's bullpen fresh as a good usage of his talent.
With that versatility comes the need to remain fresh and ready to enter at any time. While it can be difficult to get a routine going in a role like Allen's, the lefty said he ensures that he's getting a regular workload, throwing off the mound every other day regardless of his usage. “It’s a starting pitching mindset for me, which is creating weak contact… I feel like when I try to get nasty I'm a little all over the zone, versus trusting my ability to throw this to these locations, and just let them put the ball in play. Our defense is good enough," Allen said.
