Holman has elite control

Holman is a strike throwing machine. He’s not nearly as hard throwing as Skenes, but his command of the strike zone is as elite a skill as is Skenes fastball. Thats not to say Skenes lacked control, but rather to say that control is just as much a skill as is arm velocity. Holman seems to be able to not just throw strikes, but also to pick the part of the zone he wants.

Way to jinx him into a walk

Great job with the jinx.

And like clockwork. Nice job.

Think it but don’t jinx it. This inning is rough. I’ll blame that on you.

Tricky topic (the comparison) but you phrased it well. Dude’s smooth.

Holman reminds me of Aaron Nola.

Holman has obviously impressed me every time out. Last night it was his velocity. He came out hitting 94 and sat around 93/94 for most of his outing until he had a couple of (very relatively) "long" innings. But Ronnie made a good point that I think is hard to see on tv--his fastball has some late run on it. And I think he can run it glove side or arm side, which is incredible combine with his pinpoint control.
He can hit his spots horizontally and vertically, which makes his fastball play better, which makes his off speed play better. Which he can throw in any count. He can throw it 0-0 to get ahead in the count, 2-0 when they're sitting fastball, or drop it off the table with 2 strikes for a strike out pitch. He's like a damn college Maddux with a much smaller strike zone. Knows how to "pitch" as well as anyone since Nola, probably. Absolute fricking stud. So much fun watching him.

Watching Holman is like watching Nola.
