"I have done both in the U.S., in the big leagues and minor leagues. I have done everything and I have felt comfortable," he stated before Game 2 at KT Wiz Park in Suwon. Allen emphasized his fast recovery and adaptability, stating that he is ready to pitch whenever the team requires him. If called upon to start Game 4, Allen is confident in his ability to deliver.
