Holbrook earns Prospect League Pitcher of the Week for Bombers

Luke Holbrook's arm gave the Dubois County Bombers an early-season jolt, and the Prospect League rewarded it with a weekly honor that put Huntingburg back in the spotlight. The right-hander was named the league's Week 2 Pitcher of the Week after opening June with a 2-0 record and a 0.73 ERA over 12.1 innings.

The Prospect League announced its Week Two Players of the Week on June 9, placing Holbrook among the league's top performers for the second week of the 2026 season. His numbers came as the Bombers were sitting 8-5 in the standings, a start that kept the club firmly in the mix during the first half of the summer.

Holbrook's production has also drawn attention to League Stadium, the Bombers' home field in Huntingburg. The team says the ballpark was built in 1894, and it remains one of Dubois County's best-known sports landmarks, with on-screen history from A League of Their Own and Soul of the Game adding to its local profile.

The recognition extends beyond Dubois County as well. Holbrook is listed on the University of Montevallo baseball roster as a freshman right-hander from Huntsville, Alabama, and Montevallo had already named him GSC Freshman of the Week on March 24, 2026. That resume fits the Prospect League's role as a 20-team collegiate summer wooden-bat league designed to give college players a stage to develop and improve their chances of playing professionally.

For the Bombers, the honor lands during an early stretch that has already featured a 4-1 win over Decatur Bean Ballers on June 6, a 10-5 loss to Decatur on June 7 and a 10-9 win over Terre Haute Rex on June 9. With Holbrook carrying a 2-0 record and the Bombers keeping pace at 8-5, the award added another sign that summer baseball in Huntingburg is building momentum around a team with a deeper profile and a brighter start than many clubs manage in June.
