Clay Holmes is like 12 overalls too low

Dude, he could be the son of god and SDS would find a way keep him a silver.

SDS uses 3 year averages for their upgrades and ratings...
Feels less applicable since the change has been since coming to New York and there’s a clear and continual pattern of good performance. Also SDS doesn’t always follow that.

Is there an update tomorrow

What does he have to do? Is being a top RP not enougu

No. Unfortunately not. That was proven by Alex Reyes in the first half of last year. He converted 22 consecutive saves was an all star and was still a silver rated player.
As mentioned before. ERA, # of Saves, even Scoreless innings make no impact on a relievers overall. K/9 is the most important stat/ratings along with hits per 9 (and maybe clutch)
Currently here are the 4 diamond live series closers and their k/9 and H/9 rating
- Josh Hader 106 and 124
- Edwin Diaz 114 and 98
- Taylor Rodgers 76 and 106
- Rasiel Iglesias 87 and 95
If Clay could get his k/9 rating up to 75 or 80 then he would make diamond. It is not just Holmes though as there are 5 pitchers either ranked 83 or 84 that could make the same argument.
Ryan Helsely actually has a good enough H/9 and K/9 ratings to be a diamond but they have his clutch rating really low (59). That number has not even been updated at all this year

My counter argument is that there is a Holmes POTM who is a 91, clearly some boosts can be made, especially since he has performed nearly almost as good as that POTM the full season. Almost an 800 ERA+
-
Stats that could change:
-78 HR/9… he literally hasn’t given up a home run this season, is maybe the best ground ball pitcher in baseball and has given up a whopping 2 home runs since coming to the Yankees
-67 control… uh what?
-75 clutch, been pretty much coming in in closing situations and oftentimes with guys on and forces outs or double plays
-H/9 could use like a +5 boost
Honestly hope we see him go to an 87 overall

I've never really thought about it before but how do the quantify control? If BB/9 is the measure of how often they walk people then what different stat modifies control?

Honestly, no idea. Unless they look at a database that analyzes how often they hit corners vs mid of the zone (assume mistake in location) I'd have assumed its also based on a combo of walks issues, strikes taken, etc.
Not counting any historical adjustments, an interesting look at LS Hader and LS Holmes vs their current year stats.
Hader: H/9 Hr/9 BB/9 K/9
IRL 4.6 1.0 2.9 15.3
Game 124 63 54 106Holmes:
IRL 5.4 0.0 1.2 9.2
Game 99 78 84 67
POTM 111 99 99 72 -

Another GUTSYouting for Clay Holmes… left it all out there for the next roster update (tomorrow I presume)
-
You’re obsessed man.
-
He’s 1000% a Diamond level closer this year .
-
MLB All Star Clay Holmes!
-
He's on par to go with Aaron Loup last year. I don't believe Loup got higher than low gold. He did get a finest card though. I also believe Holmes has already gotten a Topps now card.

This is incorrect. Loop had a 420 ERA+, Holmes has a 830 ERA+

Cherry picking. Gotcha...He's good with a high gold. If he keeps it up, sure. Raisel Iglesias went 3 full months without allowing a run and didn't get a diamond until the last update. I have to agree with Bob...you are obsessed.

And down the drain he goes.

Lmao RIP

Watching last night, I knew this thread would be revisited.
