6/13/23
Two uncommitted 2024 arms that made the trip to SLU from Pittsfield, Illinois, that showed well: RHP Konner Allen and RHP Brennan Tomhave. Allen, who stands at 6-foot-3, 195-pounds, worked the strike zone with all four of his pitches, featuring both a fastball and sinker that each, respectively, reached 19+ inches of horizontal movement, with the former moving as much as 21.3 inches horizontally, per TrackMan. Allen landed a tighter-shape slider at 71-74 mph and he created some natural run on his changeup at 73-74 mph, too. The 6-foot-3, 175-pound Tomhave also showed a four-pitch mix, including a projectable fastball from a loose, clean, high ¾ arm slot. His curveball and slider both had natural sweeping action from differing velocity bands, each of them spinning off a 10/4 plane and reaching as high as 17.8 inches of horizontal movement. Tomhave consistently spotted his changeup to the arm-side corner of the plate too, averaging 16 inches of run on the pitch, while peaking at 18.8 inches, per TrackMan.
