Tucker
Holton

Uncommitted. 6-foot-2, 165 pounds. There is so much to like about this underclass arm. It’s a very rangy & athletic frame that you can see holding 20 more lbs easily without losing quick twitch fibers. I am extremely excited about this arm, as you see all the traits of a guy who can have an A/AVG FB one day. Firstly his delivery is already cleaner than most arms 2-3 years older than him, and is easily one of the best in the class before being anywhere near filling out. It builds pace gradually (slow to square, medium thru up+down+out phases, and fast post landing) for near perfect ease of operation. His upper half stays stacked over the rubber in stride creating not only elite backside connection, but protecting his arm and creating vast separation at the same time. This is an exceptional 1 piece, mid-depth arm action that builds momentum effortlessly with an ideal scap load. While he may not look like it getting of the bus yet, this is an elite athlete on the mound who is going to have power 5’s breathing down his neck this summer. Holton is a closed foot lander, allowing him to create more rotational force in the throw. This is a trait you typically see in high velo arms. The identical finish to one of my favorite arms ever (Yordano Ventura) doesn’t hurt either. His confidence and swagger on the hill is exactly what you look for, this dude is going to attack whoever regardless of name or talent. The FB works in the 84-86 T87 range with very live bore for his age and current velo. He can locate the pitch to both edges with ease. The 72-73 CB is of the same quality as his FB, with tight rotation, consistent shape, and equal parts sweep+depth. We will be closely following.
