Nick Allen was playing second base at Wolff Stadium on Wednesday night, just four days after helping Team USA clinch a spot in the Olympics.

Allen was a starting shortstop and played in all four Team USA games in the Olympic qualifying tournament that concluded over the weekend.

The No. 3 Oakland A’s prospect is now with the Double-A Midland RockHounds, who are playing a six-game series through Sunday against the San Antonio Missions. Allen was the leadoff batter and had a single, walk, stolen base and run scored on Wednesday.

Allen is listed as a shortstop by the A’s system. The 22-year-old is batting .270 in 19 games with Midland in his first season above Class A. He was a third-round draft pick by the A’s in 2017 as a high school player in San Diego.

Logan Davidson was a first-round draft pick two years out of Clemson. The Oakland A’s took Davidson with the No. 29 overall pick in 2019.

Two years later, the 6-foot-3 infielder is suiting up for the Double-A Midland RockHounds, who are playing a six-game series against the San Antonio Missions this week at Wolff Stadium.

Davidson was at third base on Tuesday night and had two hits and two RBIs in the opening game of the series. A switch hitter, he is batting .216 through 31 games this season.

He is listed as the No. 5 prospect in the A’s organization as a shortstop, according to MLB.com
