LATEST PG SHOWCASE REPORT
2012 National Showcase
J.R. Holloway is a 2013 RHP/1B with a 6-5 210 lb. frame from Austin, TX who attends Westwood HS. Big strong physical build, looks the part. Compact quick arm action, 3/4's release point, stays tall in delivery, some effort at release but ball comes out easily. Fastball topped at 92 mph, lots of 91's early, some run and sink when down in the zone, has more velocity in his arm. Primary fastball pitcher at present, inconsistent curveball/change up release point, flashes curveball spin but mostly soft, change up still developing. Can see as mid 90's fastball/slider power reliever. Good athlete, fields his position well. Very good student.
