Holmes has moved from the bullpen to the rotation, which has been somewhat of a learning curve for him so far.
“You can’t replicate everything in spring,” Holmes said via The Athletic. “There will definitely be a lot of learning early on, and I’ll try to soak in as much as possible. I’ve just got to be aware of the things I’m going through and how to handle them better as the season goes.”
Holmes has used his array of pitches to help him be the best starter possible.
“In spring, I did a pretty good job of using my whole arsenal. I’d throw things just because I needed to throw them,” Holmes said. “You have a tendency when you get into games to revert back to what’s comfortable and what you know. For me, just as far as pitch mix the second and third time through, it’s trusting the arsenal. I’ve had success using it, so use it.”
