Logan Allen, the left-handed pitcher, is thriving in his second stint with the KT Wiz in the Korea Baseball Organization (KBO). After pitching for the NC Dinos last season, Allen posted a solid 2.70 ERA against the Wiz but recognized the difficulty of facing their strong lineup. This year, Allen has found his footing, going 4-1 in nine starts with a 3.26 ERA over 49 2/3 innings.
He has adjusted his pitch selection, increasing his curveball usage and fastball frequency to keep hitters honest. Allen acknowledges the Wiz's all-around talent, with even their lower-ranked hitters making significant contributions.

Allen credits his improved body composition, shedding weight to 213 pounds, for his enhanced performance.
