2-way prospect with a diverse skill-set capable of impacting the game in a lot of ways. Hoiland has an athletic frame at 6-foot-2, 185 pounds with wide, sloped upper half. He impressed earlier this year on multiple looks indoors, showcasing next level arm strength and bat speed. The tools were even more evident in the outdoor setting of the ProCase. Hoiland runs well in the OF with long, easy strides. Speed should play best at a corner spot. Throws have plenty of velocity (89 mph) and accurate carry. Offensively, sets up in a square stance with his weight balanced. Uses a toe-tap style load to shift his weight back while maintaining upright posture. Hands push back slightly as he loads. Barrel has early depth into the zone, with an on-plane efficiency average of 71% across his rounds of BP. Average target goal is 70% per Blast data. Showed best contact to his pull-side gap. Avoided casting his hands or getting around the ball. Creates easy bat speed & will likely add more power to his offensive game. On the mound, we didn’t see Hoiland at his peak velocity but he still attacked the zone with a solid 3 pitch mix. The arm action gets shorter, more compact than when he’s in the OF, which allows him to consistently be on time with his delivery and tempo. When projecting on the pro side of things, the value and ceiling as a position player will likely win out but there’s still plenty of current ability on the mound to be productive
