Allen Conkwright, born in 1896, was a professional baseball pitcher whose career spanned a brief but notable period from September 16, 1920, to October 3, 1920. Conkwright played during a transitional era in baseball, shortly after the end of the deadball era and just before the roaring twenties, a time characterized by the rise of more offensive-minded play. Although his Major League career was short, he made his mark with a record of 2-1 and an earned run average (ERA) of 6.98, reflecting the challenges pitchers faced as the game began to evolve towards a more hitting-friendly environment. Throughout his career, Conkwright demonstrated his capabilities on the mound, accumulating a total of 4 strikeouts and 1 save.
