"The FIP increases by 2.24; the OBP by .109; the SLG by .187. So why do the Braves have him starting? Well, the answer to that question is answered by two others."
"He's yet to find consistent results with any of his offerings. The curveball is flattening out. The changeup is meh. But the slider and fastball has been good."
Grant Holmes has made 33 starts for the Braves over the last three years, despite his profile suggesting he is better suited as a reliever. His performance metrics indicate a significant drop in effectiveness when facing batters a second time. The Braves' decision to start him may be influenced by the absence of other pitchers and the potential for Holmes to develop a reliable third pitch. His fastball and slider have shown promise, but his other pitches have not been effective, raising questions about his future as a starter.
