LATEST PG SHOWCASE REPORT
KC Fall Softball Scouting Combine Afternoon Session
Jorja Holliday is a 5'11, class of 2024, RHP/1B from Greenfield, IA who attends Nodaway Valley HS. Jorja is a talented, rising player who shows solid two-way ability as a defender and pitcher. She has an emerging offensive game that should continue to develop over the course of her still fairly early career. She ran a 3.54 20-yard dash with a 1.22 5-yard split. A primary RHP, Jorja has a long levered, very powerful operation. She repeats her mechanics well. Very consistent, mature approach. She throws four, impressively projectable pitches that are advanced now and have a chance to get even better. She has an obvious idea of "how" to pitch. She works the edges and quadrants well. Her fastball is a power offering that she works to the lower half of the zone. FB has some big spin and heavy, late down action. Her change up is thrown with FB arm action and has some heavy tumble at the dish. Highly deceptive. Rise is a late, quick hopper that works well off the FB/CH combo. Drop is a heavy, tight spinner and looks to be the pitch that she throws with the most confidence. BIG upside promise!! Will definitely pitch at the next level! Jorja also took a turn at first base. Appears to have a veteran's awareness for the position. Her feet work and she positions confidently, Her glove is sure and soft and she makes a routine transition. Her 52-mph throws hold their plane and are accurate! At the plate, this RHH is balanced and slightly open at the ready. She has a leg lift trigger and shows strength in her core and hands. She can impact the ball and has a noticeable feel for the barrel. Projectable ability at the plate! Jorja has certain abilities at 1B and with a bat in her hands. Those skills are certainly well above average for her age group and should be college ready when her time comes. Make no mistake, however, Jorja is a plus pitching prospect and is projectable in the circle....right now! She has a big, bright, promising future at the next level and should her goals include playing softball at the college level, she is well on her way. Like her energy and effort! Prospect!
