Stetson Allie

Allie enjoyed about as much success hitting as he did pitching after the organization converted him from pitcher to third baseman in 2012. None. The 2010 second-round draft pick followed up a disappointing 2011 debut with an even worse pitching stint. The righty, who can throw as hard as 100 mph, walked eight batters while recording two outs in two outings before the team decided to move him to third base, where he played in high school. Allie batted .213/.314/.340 with three homers in 150 Gulf Coast League at-bats. His 21:50 BB:K ratio doesn't portend much future success. Still, the bonus baby is but 21 years of age and the Pirates will give him every chance to show that the $2 million investment wasn't a total bust. Don't be surprised if he moves back to the mound.
