After a pair of standout seasons for the University of Alabama, righthander Luke Holman took his talents to SEC rival Louisiana State for the 2024 season. While there, he refined his offerings and led all Tiger pitchers in IP (91.2), strikeouts (127), and WHIP (0.982).
That led to his selection in the 2nd round of the 2024 MLB Draft by the Cincinnati Reds.
He’s a strike thrower with command of the zone with three, maybe even four pitches already at this point, and though his fastball only sits in the low to mid 90s he manages to rack up the Ks with a wipeout slider.
