Holmes quickly emerged as one of skipper Aaron Boone‘s most trusted arms upon joining the club, stabilizing the late innings in the Bronx. Holmes ditched his slider and change-up, focusing on the pitches that produced the most hectic movement profiles. His whiff rate rose 20% from his time with Pittsburgh while his strong ground ball remained among the league leaders. In his four seasons in the pinstripes, the 31-year-old right-hander pitched to a 2.69 ERA/2.74 FIP, racking up 74 saves and 19 holds.
