Scouting Report
Feb (2015) Holtz stands 6-foot-2, 180-pounds with a solid lower-half, big projectable, durable body. At the plate he starts with a slightly open front side, hands low. On the pitch he shifts his weight back, loads, gets front side back to even as he powers to the ball. Short path to the ball, barrel gets to the ball out in front, sightly inclined plane, 81 mph exit velocity with wood. Pure left-handed swing, next-level bat. From 1B he fields low in a proper position, glove open and out in front. Uses a funnels glove side-away from body, clean arm action, throws from a high-3/4 slot, 76 mph arm strength - more in the tank. He also ran a 4.3 home-to-first-time. Fun 2017 to keep an eye on.
