Tyler Holton is a 2015 LHP/OF/1B with a 6-1 190 lb. frame from Tallahassee, FL who attends Lincoln HS. Strong long limbed athletic build. Big hip turn delivery, high 3/4's arm slot, works downhill, stays balanced well and repeats his mechanics. Upper 80's fastball, topping out at 90 mph in the second inning, mostly straight with big downhill angle, throws fastball to spots for strikes. Outstanding change up with occasional huge sinking action, out pitch. Good curveball with tight spin and good downer depth, 12/6 shape at times. Throws strikes with all three pitches and knows how to pitch. Left handed hitter with next level hitting tools, nice hand load with a quick short hand path to the ball, tends to stay on his back side, generates good bat speed and leverage at cotnact, uphill swing plane with lift, has some power, may have to level swing and get some shift to contact but the tools are there to hit. Very good student, verbal commitment to Florida State.
