Uncommitted Prospect Spotlight: 2021 RHP Luke Holman


Greg Williams
Pennsylvania Director of Scouting

Just five weeks have passed since the completion of the 2019 PBR Future Games and to date a total of 10 players that made up the 21 player Team Pennsylvania roster have announced a college commitment.

Over the coming weeks we will take a look at the remaining eleven prospects that participated in a Team PA uniform and recap their performance at the event.

Today we continue with a look at 2021 RHP Luke Holman. The junior has represented Pennsylvania at the Future Games each of the past two summers, showcasing a fastball that sits comfortably at 87-89 and an advanced spin rate curveball with two-plane break at 73-76. The 6-foot-4, 180-pound junior also mixes in a splitter in the mid-70s and has shown above average feel for his changeup at 72-77.

Scouting Report

+ 2018 PBR Future Games Selection (Team Pennsylvania)
+ 2019 PBR Future Games Selection (Team Pennsylvania)

6/18/19

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.

2/16/19

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.

8/19/18

Facing a deep and talented Allegheny Pirates offense Holman was just as sharp as he was two weeks ago as a member of Team Pennsylvania at the PBR Future Games. The 6-foot-2, 170-pound righty sat 85-86 from a high 3/4 arm slot while getting repeated swinging strikes from his curveball at 72/73. Holman's curveball is an advanced pitch with a very high spin rate and a chance to be a difference maker at the next level. The sophomore also utilized a changeup with good sell at 71-73 and a splitter that showed tumbling action at 68-71. He allowed one hit over three innings while striking out four.

12/30/17

6-foot-1, 170-pound primary pitcher flashed athleticism in a frame that is just beginning to mature. The freshman sat 80-84 from a high 3/4 arm slot with an easy, repeatable delivery. While it is easy to dream on a ceiling for fastball velocity it is Holman's two secondary pitches that will make him a highly coveted pitching recruit in this class. The curveball is thrown with an advanced spin rate and shows sharp two-plane break at 67-69. Holman also commands an advanced splitter at 66-69 that showed consistent armside run and sink.

The right-handed hitter starts from a square stance and initiates his swing with a leg-lift stride. There is some drop of the hands in the load phase, but he manages to get them back to a point of strength prior to launch. Showcased a feel for the barrel and a bat exit velocity of 87 mph. Ran a 7.31 60-yard dash and showcased a soft glove hand and active feet defensively at shortstop.
