Josh Holst is already flashing Friday-night stuff for Air Force
In the 2026 season, freshman lefty Josh Holst has opened his Air Force career with real poise: he struck out five over 5.1 innings in his debut against Iowa, and the Falcons noted he owned the team’s lowest ERA at 5.40 with 18.1 innings and 14 strikeouts in mid-March. He brings a sturdy 6-foot-3 frame, a competitive resume built on a 2025 Illinois state title, and proven strike-throwing swagger from high school—plus a reputation for calm under pressure. If your team wants a left-handed starter with upside, toughness, and a winning track record, Holst is worth the attention.
