LATEST PG SHOWCASE REPORT
2005 Midwest Top Prospect Showcase
Eric Holmes is a slender 6-0, 160 lb junior lefthanded pitcher from Iowa with a live, quick arm. He throws from a mid 3/4's release point with a cross body severe slinging arm action. Holmes fastball was 80-82 mph and it got on hitters pretty quickly. He spun a few good curveballs around 67 mph and showed a mid-70's change up. That Holmes was able to throw consistent strikes with his delivery and arm action is a testament to his overall athletic ability. There is plenty more in Holmes arm as far as stuff and velocity is concerned. Watch very carefully to see if this young southpaw makes any adjustments because he could take off at some point.
