Career highlights and awards

Holstein is a 6-foot 9 stretchman who is good at putbacks and on mid-range shooting. Holstein is a three-time Philippine Basketball Association and member of the 2013 San Mig Super Coffee Mixers roster who captured the very rare Grand Slam.

His entry into the PBA signals the complete reversal of his basketball fortunes. A former NCAA Division II player, he quit basketball and decided to embark on a different path in life. Instead, he saw his hoops career resurrected after moving to Manila to play in the PBA D-League, first with Big Chill before moving to Blackwater.[4]

After spending his rookie season with the grand slam champion Purefoods Star Hotshots, he was traded along with Ronnie Matias midway through the 2014–15 PBA Philippine Cup for Barako Bull Energy veteran center Mick Pennisi. After a couple of months, he was waived by the Energy.
