NC State’s baseball program announced the addition of right‑handed pitcher Harrison Holbrook, a 6‑foot‑7, 245‑pound prospect who brings a blend of size and arm strength to the mound.
A Sophomore Season to Remember
During his sophomore year at UNC‑Pembroke, Holbrook posted a 3.24 earned run average across 16.2 innings, striking out 10 batters while walking 14. He limited opponents to one earned run or fewer in his final nine appearances, underscoring his late‑season dominance.
Holbrook revealed his decision on Monday afternoon, following a campus visit that sealed his commitment to the Wolfpack. The announcement marks a significant recruiting win for NC State’s pitching staff.
North Carolina Roots
A native of North Carolina, Holbrook honed his craft at West Wilkes High School in Wilkesboro before moving on to the University of North Carolina at Pembroke. His high school pedigree placed him as the No. 243 overall player in the state and the No. 99 right‑handed pitcher according to Perfect Game.
Beyond the numbers, Holbrook’s journey reflects a broader trend of elite talent staying in‑state to contribute to the Pack’s depth. His addition joins a seven‑player transfer class that aims to reinforce the Pack9’s competitiveness heading into the next season.
The move also highlights the collaborative pipeline between NC State and its in‑state counterparts, including UNC‑Pembroke, and underscores the program’s ability to attract top regional prospects.
