Holt riding high

Looks like this year's 1st round pick is off to a dominating start in A ball:

Brad Holt is living up to his first-round pick expectations, much to the frustration of basically everyone not in a Brooklyn uniform this summer.
Holt (3-2) struck out a career-high 14 and allowed just two hits over six innings in his seventh career start to help the Brooklyn Cyclones rout the visiting Vermont Lake Monsters on Thursday, 8-1.

"Usually I don't [try for strikeouts], but there were a couple in a row and you start to realize it," said Holt, who struck out the side in each of his final three innings.

The Mets prospect walked two and hit a batter in the most dominating start of his professional career. He lowered his ERA to 1.57, fifth-best in the New York-Penn League.
