Average depth and fade, deception, late movement when turned over; occasionally slows actions or releases firm, inconsistent present feel; framework for average pitch, will flash above-average |

With above-average command potential of two plus pitches - and a third with average potential - Allard has the ingredients to develop into a No. 2 or 3 starter with occasional flashes of frontline ability. His profile is a safe bet as a No. 3 starter. The biggest question is whether he can handle the workload that comes with the role; he has back surgery on his resume, and while the frame isn't slight, it's an average build without much room to grow. If Allard can stay healthy and log the necessary innings, he has the ability to develop into a talented major-league starting pitcher.
