Braden Holcomb (2023, Ocoee, Fla.) has been doing a lot of what we usually see out of him in that he has been driving the baseball with real authority all over the field. The large and extremely physical righthanded hitting third baseman is known for having some of the best raw strength in the entire class, and could very well compete for that title across a couple older classes as well, but it’s the consistency in which he can get to that strength that is impressive to watch.
