Super 60 Spotlight: Luke Holman
January 11, 2021
On Sunday, Feb. 7, Prep Baseball Report will host the 19th edition of its prestigious, flagship event: the Super 60 Pro Showcase. Since the event’s inception in 2003, more than 300 players have been selected in the MLB Draft, including 22 first-round picks and 25 second-rounders.
We started our our march toward the Super 60 earlier this week, by highlighting the prospects set to join us, shining a light on their impressive player profiles that they've groomed through their high school years and beyond.
Scouting Report
Alabama commit. 6-foot-4, 185-pound right-hander has an athletic, well proportioned frame with room to continue adding strength. Fastball sat 87-89 from a high 3/4 arm slot with a fluid, loose arm action. Fastball has current late riding life and should continue to develop with additional physical maturity. Curveball is a plus pitch with 12/6 rotation and an extremely high spin rate thrown at fastball arm speed sitting 71-73. Showed feel for his changeup at 72-74 with some sinking action and a splitter with tumbling action at 71-75.
6-foot-4, 180-pound righty continued to show why he is one of the top underclass arms in the state. On this date Holman sat 86-89 with late life to his fastball, especially up in the zone. His high 3/4 arm slot and loose, easy arm swing will likely continue to add velocity over the next two years of high school. Holman's 12/6 curveball at 72-75 has sharp two-plane biting break and is a true swing and miss pitch. A splitter at 74-76 has tumbling action and works well as a third pitch in his arsenal.
2018 PBR Future Games - Team Pennsylvania participant. 6-foot-3, 180-pound primary pitcher continues to add strength to his athletic frame. Sat 87-89 on this date from a balanced, repeatable delivery with a loose, whippy high 3/4 arm action. Curveball has tight 11/5 rotation with two-plane action and sits 70-74. Also showed solid feel for his changeup at 70-73. Throws an effective split finger as well, but did not do so on this date. The right-handed hitter starts from a slightly open stance and initiates his swing with a leg-hang stride. Displayed a long, loose swing with above average feel for the barrel and a bat exit velocity of 94 mph. Ran a 7.08 60-yard dash and showcased easy actions at shortstop with the athleticism to play multiple defensive positions.
