Next up is Clay Holmes, a reliever whose recent performances with the New York Yankees have turned heads. Over the last three seasons, Holmes has emerged as a top-tier reliever, consistently producing over 60 innings each year while racking up an impressive 74 saves.
Holmes made crucial adjustments upon joining the Yankees, notably changing his slider to a sweeper — a vital development during the rising trend of sweepers in MLB. By maximizing his pitch arsenal, which includes a uniquely effective sinker, Holmes has solidified his place among the top relievers, highlighting good organizational pitching development.
