Walter on White
"Holden is another tall and lanky left-handed freshman arm. He throws from a low, three-quarters slot and features electric stuff. With two plus pitches and a steadily improving change-up, Holden should be a very good addition to our bullpen. His role will likely be as a left-handed specialist to start the year but as he gets more comfortable that role will expand to multiple innings." 2017 (Freshman)
