Clay Holmes, the former Yankees closer who recently signed a three-year, $38 million deal with the Mets, is transitioning into a starting pitcher role. He began his preparation early at Port St. Lucie, expressing confidence in this change. Manager Carlos Mendoza supports Holmes' role in the rotation, highlighting the confidence in the team's depth despite lacking a true ace. With more pitchers like Sean Manaea and Frankie Montas, the team hopes to capitalize on Holmes’ potential and solidify their pitching strategy going forward.
It's not like I'm having to necessarily change who I am as a pitcher. It's like, you do these things, and there's a lot of belief there that a lot of good can come from being a starting pitcher.
We like not only the top of our rotation, but we like our depth.
I know either way, I have to be my best self as a pitcher. That's what I have to focus on.
Holmes will stick in the rotation through good times and bad as long as he is holding up well physically.
