Bears GM Ryan Poles says Sam Roush's pick changes nothing for Cole Kmet.
Grant Holmes has shown potential as a reliever with heavy fastball-slider usage but has struggled as a starter for the Atlanta Braves. His performance raises questions about his role and the return of teammates Spencer Schwellenback and Hurston Waldrep.
Grant Holmes has a mixed performance record, with significant increases in FIP, OBP, and SLG when facing batters a second time through the order.
The Braves may be relying on Holmes due to the absence of Spencer Schwellenback and Hurston Waldrep, as well as the hope that he can develop a reliable third pitch.
Holmes struggles with consistency in his pitches, particularly with his curveball and changeup, which hinders his effectiveness as a multi-inning reliever.
