No, he won’t be better. He won’t be as good. But his results might be. I still think that what will separate Skenes from about anyone else is what he did in Omaha.
ETA: What else will separate them, if anything, will be the better competition in SEC play.

Let’s see how this shakes out through SEC play.
That’s where Skenes proved his mettle

Let us know when Holman dots up 102 on the outside black and follows it up with an 88 mph slider at the knees.
Until that happens, no. He won’t be better. Comparable is as close as he will get.

In no way am I knocking Holman because he’s got experience in the SEC and is a great pitcher but legends are made in May and June. The last 4 games are what matters and that’s where he needs to match Skenes if he wants to be mentioned in the same breath. Do not take this as a shot at Holman because he’s a great pitcher but Feb/March baseball isn’t the same as May/June baseball.

Love what Holman is doing so far. I feel like he is going to have a special season. I’ve got to make it to some Friday games this year.
I didn’t get to see Skenes pitch until regionals last season.

Holman is good, I have never seen a guy like Skenes.
Posted on 3/9/24 at 8:38 am to Honkus
Holman’s margin for error is much smaller & SEC play will open that up a bit

Why do we have to play this game?? Enjoy Holman. No need to compare the two after every game.
Posted on 3/9/24 at 8:45 am to Honkus
I like Holman, but are you just going to ignore that Skenes has 20% more strikeouts in the same number of innings?
Posted on 3/9/24 at 9:46 am to Honkus
Holman is a really good pitcher. Skenes was a fastball pitcher. A lot of times he received a bad call from the HP ump which resulted in another pitch. Sometimes those pitches were hits which led to runs.
I’m glad that Holman transferred to LSU. His addition helps the pitching have depth that has not been had in while.

I don't think so. But that isn't a knock. Only time will tell.
Another stat, Skenes threw strikes 68.9% of the time after 4 games, That dropped to 66% by season's end. Holman's is currently at 63.6%.
More data after 4 games,
Holmann:
85 batter faced
5 singles
3 doubles
3 HBP
1 WP
14 Fly-Outs
16 Ground Outs
Skenes:
86 batter faced
6 singles
1 double
1 HR
1 HBP
1 WP
14 Fly-Outs
10 Ground Outs

Holman reminds me of Aaron Nola. He has similar speed, smarts, control, 4 pitches, and they all have great movement.

Whats nice is that with this staff our ace doesnt have to be quite Skenes level for us to make a deep run. Holman is a stud and worth of the Ace title for this team. Best staff we have had in a long time and they are carrying the team.

Yea but let’s see what happens when Jay mysteriously sits him before game time.
Posted on 3/9/24 at 10:58 am to Honkus
If you never saw Skenes pitch in person, you just don’t know…
Posted on 3/9/24 at 11:08 am to Honkus
Holman is a very good pitcher but doesn’t have near the “it” factor Skenes had.
Skenes on the bump was border line unfair. Not just through for relatively easy games but through and entire season.
When opposing coaches start to move their rotation to avoid having their ace pitch against Holman we can begin to have a conversation about comparing the two.

Saying Holman will be better is not needed. The fact that Holman has basically matched Skenes start of the season so far is impressive enough.
Some on here have speculated Holman is just keeping Friday night warm for Jump. I don't see that happening personally. I think Holman is locked in as the Friday night guy.

What’s scary is Holman did not have his best stuff last night and still didn’t give up a hit.
