7/12/17 6-foot, 170-pound right-handed hitter flashed skill set that could easily have had him included in above top prospects. Measurarables included 6.94 sixty, 85 mph across infield arm strength and 83 mph bat exit velocity. Holmes initiates swing from neutral set up with short knee to knee leg kick and stride. Head is still with an aggressive hip turn. Bat is on plane early and late and swing played in BP with Holmes spraying gap to gap line drives. Hands are quick and direct to baseball. Holmes may benefit from achieving greater separation through a slightly longer stride and weight shift away from hands.
