Former Auburn right-hander Chase Allsup was selected by the Baltimore Orioles in the fourth round of the 2024 MLB Draft on Monday afternoon. The three-year Tiger pitcher joins the Orioles after posting a 6-5 record and 5.11 earned run average over 56 career games on the Plains.

Although Allsup was never quite able to capture dominance on the mound over his collegiate career, the Dothan, Alabama native continuously flashed an above-average, high-velocity fastball, and devastating slider that helped him accumulate a 10.1 SO/9 during his time as a Tiger.

While Baltimore’s major league rotation is fairly set with American League All-Star starter Corbin Burnes leading the pack, Allsup’s live arm could allow him to rise quickly up the minor league ladder as a bullpen arm. If the former Tiger is able to develop other offerings on the mound he could challenge for a spot at the back end of the Orioles rotation as soon as 2025

Yeah, that’s real likely.  Good analysis by whoever wrote that.

Yeah that was a little out there by the author. 

But… he is a pitcher. Seems like he didn’t live up to hype/expectations when he got to Auburn. Let’s see what our pitch lab can do. Gotta love the high velocity FB.

Yep, kind of on par with the other recent "analysis" that called Basallo an outfielder.
