Holley performed well throughout the weekend, consistently showing impressive athleticism at the cold corner. He also demonstrated a quality, line-drive-oriented left-handed swing. At the plate, he uses a wider base and a short stride, achieving launch position with a flat, direct bat path and loose, quick hands. Holley’s present strength hints at potential in-game power as he works on refining his lower-half mechanics and increasing loft in his bat path. He finished the tournament 5-for-10 with a double, an RBI, and seven runs scored. Defensively, he took reps at first base and showed some aptitude, displaying athleticism and foot speed that could easily transfer to the outfield. Holley stands at 5-foot-11 and 190 pounds, with a twitchy build and strength throughout.
1B Jhames Holley III (Homewood-Flossmoor, 2026) stood out as a strong left-handed bat for Top Tier over the weekend. 5-foot-11, 195-pound frame with some strength throughout. Holley creates some jump off his barrel with an easy and flat path, staying balanced through impact. Holley should continue to add more power as he develops and matures.
Went 1-for-2 on the day with four RBIs and a run scored. Made a big difference with one swing of the bat late in the game with a grand slam that put Top Tier ahead. Has a smooth lefty uppercut swing and the barrel stays long in the zone. Has a strong build with a solid lower-half.
