Anthony
Holloway

Verbally committed to Illinois College.

OF Anthony Holloway (Saint Patrick) had one of the better all-around showings on Sunday and he’s an uncommitted name to know within the state. He’s listed at a physical, 5-foot-9, 180-pounds with broad/round shoulders and strength throughout, and his present strenght translates in multiple ways to his game. At the plate, the right-handed hitter has a physical stroke, working on the barrel throughout his round with intent to lift, controlling his body into footstrike before exploding through the zone, averaging 90.7 mph throughout his round with a max EV of 94.9 mph, delivering his farthest hit ball at 347’. He moves better than his 60-time would suggest in the outfield, displaying fluid footwork with a quick first step, getting around the ball consistently and playing through it with soft hands.
