Clay Holmes is making significant strides as a starting pitcher with the Mets, emphasizing the importance of pitch diversity and strategy during his outings. In a recent game against the Nationals, he pitched over 3 and 2/3 innings, allowing one hit and striking out eight, while developing his changeup as a key pitch. He aims to extend his pitch count in upcoming games, focusing on how his repertoire performs against batters multiple times in an outing.
"Doing a little more than just throwing sinkers. I am going to see how I use my pitches, have some type of game plan, read swings."
"Today I learned that the sinker command wasn't totally there early and instead of trying to force that, the changeup allowed me to pull back a little bit."
