Holman

SoCal ProCase: 

Body: 6-foot-4, 217-pounds. Large, physical, strong frame with length and room to add mass. Broad shoulders with present upper body strength. 

Hit: Left-handed hitter. Open, upright setup with hands in front of chest. Slight leg lift with a significant stride. Pulls hands back a tick during a slight coil before driving backside into the ball. His Blast Motion slash line of 71 mph/22g/80% puts him in the top category of collegiate players. His impact metrics - bat speed 71 mph, time to contact :13, and attack angle 8° -  are equally impressive and all above average for a collegiate player. 

Power: Trackman data shows Holman had an average exit speed of 89 mph with a peak of 97.3 mph. His lowest velocity registered was his first hit at 77.7 mph, a line drive to right-center field. Holman’s use of his elite hand speed allows him to be very minimalistic to generate power in his swing. There’s more consistent power to come as matures physically. 

Field: Holman moves very well behind the plate despite his size. There’s athleticism in his actions and shows the ability to recover from balls in dirt quickly and ready to throw. Showed quiet, soft hands. Set up hitters well with his pitch calling. 

Arm: Pops: 2.01-2.08, 75 mph. Showed a quick release with clean throwing mechanics. Transitions are clean and fast with the entire body working in sync. Throws were at or within distance to make a play on a runner.  

Run: 7.15 laser-timed 60 on a grass surface. Best time of any catcher in attendance.

Showed good attack - quick out of crouch and to identify and gather the ball - on the bunt. Hands are soft and showed feel for calling the game. Creates a good target with an upright back. At the plate Holman's power stood out immediately during his round of BP which carried into the game. Starts with an open stance with an early leg lift load.
