BJ Holloway joined the UAH baseball program in 2014 and now serves as the lead assistant coach on head coach Hunter Royer’s coaching staff, working primarily with hitters and position players.
A native of Klamath Falls, Oregon, Holloway aided the UAH baseball program as an assistant in 2014 and 2015, in which the squad was ranked nationally and boasted a 77-27-1 combined overall record. Prior to returning to the Chargers, Holloway spent one season assisting the Whitman baseball program in Walla Walla, Washington.
In Holloway's time at Whitman, the team batting average raised 18 points to .279 this past season, and the number of walks induced (157) and the on-base percentage (.370) increased by 42 base on balls and by 33 points, respectively; the number of doubles and home runs increased by 17 and 14 as well as the team slugging percentage rocketing from .308 in 2015 to .365 in 2016. One of the most notable jumps for the offense was the increase in team RBIs from 98 in 2015 to an impressive 205 in 2016.
Defensively the number of assists increased from 371 to 412, the number of errors dropped from 56 to 46, and the overall fielding percentage increased 11 points to .968 for the 2016 season.
After transferring from Western Kentucky, where he played one full season, Holloway was a three-year starter at Montevallo from 2006-08. In 2006, he helped lead the Falcons to a South Central Regional Championship and a trip to the NCAA Division II World Series. In 2007, Holloway helped to lead Montevallo to another Regional Championship game and a school-record 47 wins.
Holloway graduated in 2009 from Montevallo with a bachelor’s in kinesiology, and, in 2013, earned a master’s degree from West Alabama in teaching.
Holloway and his wife, Lisa, currently reside in Huntsville with their daughter Harper and son Tucker.
