Pitching
He keeps his pitches low in the strike zone and throws a heavy ball. His changeup isn't bad... he fools his share of hitters. His fastball gets into the high 80s, but it's the sink that makes the pitch effective. He attacks lefties and righties with similar success.
Defense & Hitting
He's average in terms of controlling the running game. He tends to fall off slightly to the first-base side of the mound, making him vulnerable to bunts toward third base. He makes up for that minor flaw by being aggressive in fielding his position. Alleman is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Alleman has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Cold Lake Mud Cats have been known to use Alleman as a pinch-runner on occasion.
2025 Outlook
The Cold Lake Mud Cats were smart, they locked Alleman up to a long term contract. Alleman has impressed at the A-ball level. Look for the Cold Lake Mud Cats to give him a shot in Double or Triple A before the year is up. I really like what this guy brings to the table.
