Holmes is a 6-foot-1, 190-pound shortstop and outfielder with a handful of interesting tools between his athleticism, bat speed and arm strength. He is well-built now with a quick righthanded swing that should lead to solid power potential in the future, though he does have swing-and-miss tendencies that could limit his pure hitting ability. He has the arm strength for the left side of the infield, but his actions can get a bit long and might fit better at third, or perhaps in the outfield, where his above-average running ability could fit nicely. Holmes is committed to Duke and will be a draft-eligible sophomore if he makes it to campus.
