Cody Holcomb  
Relief Pitcher | Free Agents

Pitching
He struggles with his command at times and is still learning to mix his pitches and set up hitters. He can hit 90 MPH but is too smart to try to get his fastball past most hitters. When you throw a curveball, it better break. Hanging curves equal earned runs in this league, you just can't get away with them. Unfortunately, Holcomb's curveball tends to hang. He's almost as effective against lefthanders as he is versus righthanders.

Defense & Hitting
He has a fair pickoff move and isn't a particularly easy target for basestealers. Holcomb is nothing special in the field. Holcomb is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Holcomb has some pop in his swing.

2025 Outlook
The Free Agents signed him to a long-term contract, but don't think they won't drop Holcomb like a hot potato if something better comes along. It's really a shame he hasn't caught on somewhere. He might be a decent addition to someone's bench.
