After last year’s impressive draft class of 11 high school prospects, New York once again offers several certifiable players who should have their names called at some point. OF Quentin Holmes (Monsignor McClancy Memorial HS, NY) has rightfully received the most attention, but because of his following, a teammate has caught the eyes of scouts.
Quentin Holmes, OF, Monsignor McClancy Memorial HS, NYHolmes, a Mississippi State recruit, is wiry and athletic at 6-foot-2, 185 pounds. He is one of the fastest players in the country and floats all over the field. He has a low maintenance set-up at the plate with a wide stance and quiet timing.
