Part 2/9:
One of the most discussed players heading into the offseason has been Klay Holmes. The Mets are looking to convert him from a reliever into a starting pitcher. Brazowski shared insightful analysis, pointing out that Holmes possesses a unique high-release style that might allow his sinker to be effective even against left-handed hitters—a common issue for pitchers who predominantly rely on the sinker.
While he cautioned against expecting Holmes to be a playoff starter, Brazowski believes Holmes can serve as a reliable starter for 20-25 games, with potential to return to a strong bullpen role if things do not pan out. He sees an upside in Holmes’ potential, especially given the Mets' aggressive spending in talent acquisition, which further justifies taking chances on aspiring pitchers.
