Holden Helmink

Draft Prospects

• Ranked #218 prospect in 2012 draft
  Helmink has a projectable frame and the makings of two plus future pitches, but he lacks the polish to get drafted early enough to sign him away from a Texas commitment. The 6-foot-4, 185-pounder first made his name at Willis as a slugging outfielder, and he's still learning to pitch. He has a quick arm, an 88-92 mph fastball and shows aptitude for spinning his curveball. Helmink still is learning on the mound, and he'll need to develop a changeup and improve his command. He could find innings hard to come by as a freshman on a deep Longhorns pitching staff.
