Why Brock Holt?

Quite honestly, that’s the best baseball name I’ve ever heard. I can’t see a “Brock Holt” doing anything other than playing a professional sport. Either that or being a kick-ass space Marine in some sci-fi movie. With a name that badass, you have few options.

He’s a local boy, originally from Fort Worth, went to school in Houston. The more I read about Brock, the more I like him as a player too.

.348 average with the Owls. Team leader in total runs scored and stolen bases. Named both to the All-NCAA Regional Team and the All-Silver Glove Trophy Series team. Drafted in the 9th round by the Pirates and was hitting .432 in the minors before getting the call in Pittsburgh. Originally traded to the Red Sox in the Joel Hanrahan deal, and currently holding down 3rd base while people are on the DL.

Mainly, the reason I like him as a player is that he reminds me a lot of Pedroia. Scrappy, hard working, never quitting. It’s easy to root for a guy like that.

There are currently 166 Brock Holt cards total. 57 of them are 1/1’s or too rare to chase.
