Jay Allen II Continuing To Struggle At High-A
4 months agoCincinnati Reds outfield prospect Jay Allen II has had trouble finding consistency in the batter's box over the past two months at High-A Dayton. After posting a strong .375 and .278 AVG in April and May, respectively, he has held a disappointing .143 AVG since June 1. During this stretch, Allen has only gone deep twice after launching seven home runs over the first two months. On July 21, he broke out of a four-game hitless streak by going 2-for-5, but he has been unable to keep this success rolling over an extended period. The 21-year-old will likely spend the rest of the summer at High-A to work out these struggles and may not reach Double-A until later next season.
