📣 DAD’S TAKEON MATTHEW ALLAN

One base card of a prospect who threw six professional games before disappearing into a surgical abyss. That 2021 Bowman Chrome was printed while Allan attended his only MLB spring training, mere weeks before Tommy John surgery ended any hope of a normal development timeline. Five years and three elbow surgeries later, he's finally back on a minor league mound. This isn't a collection; it's a monument to what might have been.

ABOUT MATTHEW ALLAN

Matthew Allan was selected by the Mets in the third round of the 2019 amateur draft with the 89th pick out of Seminole High School in Sanford, Florida, and signed for a $2.5 million bonus. Regarded as the top prep arm available in that year's draft, Allan fell due to his strong commitment to Florida. He made five starts and one relief appearance that year for the Gulf Coast League Mets and Class A Brooklyn but hadn't pitched since Aug. 31, 2019. Allan had Tommy John surgery on May 14, 2021, underwent right elbow ulnar nerve transposition surgery in January 2022, and then Tommy John revision surgery in 2023. He returned in April 2025, striking out five of 11 batters over 2 2/3 scoreless innings for High-A St. Lucie in his first game appearance in six years. The single 2021 Bowman Chrome card represents a poignant snapshot from the spring before his first surgery.
