LATEST PG SHOWCASE REPORT
2021 National Indoor Showcase (Saturday)
Layne Holmes is a 2023 RHP/OF with a 6-0 185 lb. frame from Lawton, MI who attends Mattawan High School. Recorded a 6.84 second 60 yard dash time, showcasing great speed. Medium frame with some physicality to the build. Primary right-handed pitcher with a long and offline arm stroke, max effort thrower. Arm gets locked out at times, fastball proved to be overpowering in the games. Short, downer slider with good shape, tends to shorten the stroke and slow down the arm to throw it. Has made impressive improvements since last year. Secondary outfielder with a long arm action, works through the ball well and has present arm strength at 87 mph. Solid actions and athleticism, good round overall. Right-handed hitter with a wide base and even hand set. Very simple operation with a toe lift trigger, limited lower half usage. Rotational upper body swing, flips the wrist, shows strong hands. Can get more behind the swing as there is strength there, evident by the 93 mph exit velocity. Great student. Named to the 2021 National Indoor Showcase Top Prospect List.
