SCOUTING REPORT:
Holloway had little or no success in his first collegiate season—either at Mississippi State, where he didn’t pitch at all as a freshman, or during the summer with the Alaska Goldpanners, where he worked just 15 innings and walked 22 while posting a 12.89 ERA. Though he is generally around the plate with his pitches, throwing consistent strikes is obviously an issue with the hard-throwing lefthander, whose heavy fastball has been clocked from 89-92 mph. The pitch shows excellent tilt and can be an effective weapon against lefthanded hitters. He also shows flashes of a plus slider and can be dominant at times with that pitch, too.

Holloway在他大學的第一個球季幾乎沒有什麼表現機會,不管是在密西西比州大或是在夏季聯盟. 他在夏季聯盟留下了15局22保送EAR12.89的慘澹成績. 雖然對手很難打到他的球但是他自己更沒辦法投進好球帶,他的速球非常重而且大約落在89-92mph. 出手角度相當刁鑽而且對左打相當有制宰力. 他有plus的滑球,如果他有辦法控好他的話.

Knowing he had little chance to pitch regularly at Mississippi State unless he threw strikes, Holloway opted to transfer to St. Petersburg JC, where he worked primarily in relief this spring but got a better fair chance to work through his control issues, though with mixed results. He had trouble repeating his delivery. He continues to intrigue scouts because he is lefthanded and has the making of two average big league pitches.

當他自覺到如果他沒辦法控好球他可能就沒辦法在密西西比州大得到穩定出賽的機會,所以他選擇轉學到聖彼得堡社區大學. 他在球隊中雖然大多數以後援的身分上場,不管是先發或後援給了他機會去加強他的控球. 他沒辦法穩定的重複他的投球動作. 不過他仍然持續得到球探的關注因為他是個強力左投而且已經有兩種大聯盟水準的平均球路.
