RHPs Danny Johnson and Matthew Richert are two uncommitted 2024s from St. Ignatius to know from the event. Johnson has a 6-foot-2, 190-pound, broad-shouldered, well-proportioned frame with an easy, fluid operation on the mound with a feel for his three-pitch mix. Johnson sat 82-84 mph and threw a high-volume of strikes with all three pitches, including his low-70s slider that he landed in the zone 100% of the time. Richert has a 6-foot-4, 190-pound, upside frame and a fastball that sat 83-85 mph while throwing all of his offerings with conviction, especially his upper-70s changeup that gets late running action and an average of 14.9 inches of horizontal movement.
