Scouting Report

If it seems like Holmes has been a prospect forever, you're not wrong. Part of an aggressive Draft in 2011 that started with Gerrit Cole No. 1 overall and included way over-slot signings of Josh Bell and Tyler Glasnow, Holmes got $1.2 million in the ninth round. He missed all of 2014 and most of '15 following Tommy John surgery, finally making it to Pittsburgh for the first time in '18, though he struggled to find consistency there.

There was some Jekyll and Hyde to Holmes in the big leagues in 2018, at times dominating and at times looking like an A ball pitcher. The stuff that allowed him to get to this level is still very much there. Hitters have never squared up his heavy, hard-sinking fastball that he could crank up to 96-97 mph in shorter relief stints, leading to a career 2.29 groundout-to-airout ratio in the Minors. None of his secondary pitches profile as true out pitches, but he does have solid changeup and a cutter with slider action, and can fold in an average curve at times.

More than anything, Holmes needs to maintain an attack mentality in whatever role he has. If he falls behind, he gets in trouble and it often snowballs on him. He can get out of sync and then struggles to get back into a rhythm or make adjustments. He still might best be suited for the bullpen, but could get the chance to start if there's an organizational need.

Pitch Movement

How this works: Every pitch is affected by the forces of gravity, which means that every pitch drops on its way from the mound to the plate. These numbers are reported with gravity, which makes them larger and different than other pitch movement numbers you may have seen. Since gravity requires time, and slower pitches aren’t ‘better’ just because they have more time to move, the movement of a pitch is compared to ‘average’ movement by comparing it to other MLB pitch types within +/- 2 MPH and from within +/- 0.5 feet of extension and release.
