Beau Hollins

Draft Prospects

• Ranked #91 prospect in 2027 draft
  School: South Carolina
  Age At Draft: 21.8
  Hollins ranked inside the top 450 on the final BA 500 as a high school senior and was a bright spot in South Carolina’s lineup last spring. He posted a .308/.379/.491 slash line with 16 extra-base hits and 24 RBIs. A switch-hitter, Hollins is markedly better from the left side than from the right. He features a crouched stance with a slightly open front side and an ear-high hand set, wraps the bat in his load and can get long with his swing, but he shows intriguing power upside. However, his hit tool and swing decisions lack polish, as evidenced by a sub-70% overall contact rate and a near-36% chase rate, both of which will need to take a step forward this spring and beyond.
• Ranked #447 prospect in 2024 draft
  School: River Bluff HS, Lexington, S.C. Commit/Drafted: South Carolina
  Age At Draft: 18.8
  Hollins is a 6-foot-4, 220-pound first baseman and lefthanded pitcher who has a chance to play both ways in college but was viewed as more of a bat-first prospect for pro scouts. The son of 10-year big leaguer Dave Hollins, Beau wasn’t seen much in 2023 after dealing with injuries but scouts with history on him have been intrigued with his raw power and offensive potential. He could be a tough sign out of South Carolina given his relative lack of track record in front of decision makers and some scouts are still waiting for him to fully put everything together offensively. It would be unsurprising for him to make it to campus at South Carolina and quickly become a home run threat somewhere in the middle of a lineup.
