8/01/22

Cape Cod: A 6-foot-6 righthander with a slender frame and high three-quarters slot, Phelps has a smooth, easy downhill delivery. He showed us a 90-92 mph heat (2200s spin) and plus feel to spin the curveball at 78-80 mph with spin in the 2300-2400 rpm range. He repeats the speed and shape of the curve and controls the pitch. It's fringe quality now, projectable to 55 future.

9/13/19

+ In Chicago Scouts Association’s second game of Saturday, against GRB Rays’ 2020s, towering uncommitted RHP Holden Phelps (Prairie Ridge HS, IL) cruised to a spotless inning of work at 90-92 mph exclusively, showing a newfound feel for the edges of the plate. The velocity has long been there for Phelps, but if he’s harnessed an ability to spot the corners, he’ll be dangerous at the next level – whichever that might be. He threw one slider in the at-bat below, which complements his fastball well, that completely fooled the hitter.

7/25/19

Uncommitted, currently ranked No. 27 in the Illinois’ 2020 class. 6-foot-5, 195-pound, long-limbed, highly-projectable right-handed pitcher. Phelps continues to prove he is one of the top uncommitted arms in Illinois. Loose, quick, live arm action. The fastball was lively and in the zone early in his outing sitting 90-91 mph, touching 92 in the first inning. He settled in anywhere from 86-89, touching 91 from the first inning on and occasionally mixed in a low-70s curveball. Phelps should be a high-follow 2020 arm moving forward.
