Big-bodied RHP with power-reliever upside for Charleston Southern
Althoff is a 6-foot-4, 220-pound right-hander whose appeal is built on usable pitch mix and a power frame rather than pure dominance; a 2025 report listed him at 88-90 mph with a fastball touching 91, plus a sinker, cutter, and splitter, which gives him more than one way to miss bats or induce weak contact.[3] In Charleston Southern’s 2026 stats, he has worked mainly in relief, appearing in 24 games with two starts and showing swingman value, though his run prevention has been uneven (6.43 ERA in 7.0 innings reported in the cumulative stats snapshot).[1][7] He looks like a fit for teams wanting a durable, adaptable arm with some pitchability and depth value rather than a polished frontline starter.[1][3][7]
