Stetson T. Allie (born March 13, 1991) is an American professional baseball player in the Los Angeles Dodgers organization.

Career

Allie attended St. Edward High School in Lakewood, Ohio, where he played for the school's baseball team.[1] Allie fell in the 2010 Major League Baseball Draft due to his high bonus demands and commitment to the University of North Carolina. However, the Pirates selected Allie, a pitcher who had thrown as high as 100 MPH (102 MPH unofficially), in the second round of the draft and signed him for a $2,250,000 signing bonus.[2]

As a pitcher, he was named the #79 prospect in baseball by Baseball America prior to the 2011 season.[3] However, in 2011, with the State College Spikes, he walked 29 batters in 26 innings, and in 2012, with the West Virginia Power, he walked 8 batters in 2/3 of an inning. Allie's severe control problems caused the Pirates to convert Allie into an infielder in June 2012.[4]

In June 2012, Allie started his career as a position player with the Gulf Coast League Pirates. Playing for the West Virginia Power of the Class A South Atlantic League in 2013, he hit six home runs in the first 14 games of the season.[5] He was promoted to the Bradenton Marauders of the Class A-Advanced Florida State League, and began the 2014 season with the Altoona Curve of the Class AA Eastern League.[6]

On November 14, 2016, Allie signed a minor league deal with the Los Angeles Dodgers.
