Braden Holcomb Pronunciation

 

Head coach Tim Corbin on Holcomb: “Braden started to come into his own midway through the season and became our leading freshman hitter. He has the rare combination of size, speed, athleticism and defensive versatility. Those traits have allowed Braden to play anywhere on the field. He has game changing offensive abilities and a passion to learn. He had a very good summer in the Cape Cod League and has used that momentum to keep improving. He loves the team environment and being part of this program.”
