Oregon’s freshman RHP with starter upside, but still ironing out the early bumps
In the 2026 season, Josh Hollis flashed the kind of arm Oregon likes to develop: in one early relief outing he threw three hitless innings with two strikeouts, and his coach said he could already profile as a midweek starter with weekend-start upside later on.
