6-foot, 185 pound strong athletic prospect. Low ¾ arm slot from the left side of the mound with good leverage on the ball. Fastball had good arm side run at 78-80 mph. Curveball was 62-63 mph, with his change-up sitting 68-70 mph.  Showed good hands and footwork at first base, throwing 77 mph across the infield. Ran a 4.49 home to 1^st. Gets good extentstion at the plate with the ability to hit to all fields with power. Bat speed registered at 87 mph.

6.25.13 The 6-foot, 180-pound lefty followed up his performance at Top Prospect Games by improving his velocity.  Holt topped out at 84mph on this day.  Works with clean loose arm action from low ¾ slot.  Can get under it from time to time.  When down has good life and run.  Producing lots of groundballs. Hides ball well.  Secondary stuff was good.  Breaking ball has sweeping downer movement 65-68mph.  Split tumbles well.  68-70mph.  Good feel for all secondary.

6.18.13 Holt was a pleasant surprise at Top Prospect Games.  6-foot, 180-pound lefty with some projection.  Strikes to both sides of the plate.  Competed really well.  Fastball sat between 79-82 mph.  Has touched 84mph in the past.  Breaking ball for strikes.  Low ¾ almost side arm slot. Easy effort with looseness.  Has tendency to get under the fastball a bit and ball flattens out.  When on top gets good arm side run down in zone.  Should get outs.
