A lean 5-foot-11, 145-pound frame; right-handed pitcher with wiry levers. Conradt broke out at our 15U tournament at The Rock a few weeks ago, and he was more or less the same version of himself, a quick-armed prospect to know inside the state’s 2023 class. His arm works very fast from a high ¾ slot, with athleticism in his delivery. In 4.2 innings this weekend, he struck out eight batters, walked six, four hits allowed.
