While the 2025 season is one that Atlanta Braves fans are hoping to forget for a number of reasons, one of the bright spots was most definitely Grant Holmes. There was certainly a lot of skepticism at the start of the season about the Braves being enamored with Holmes. However, as the season continued on, Holmes became one of Atlanta's best pitchers and it looked like the Braves' decision had been vindicated. Hell, Holmes probably pitched the best game of the Braves' entire season with a 15 strikeout performance against the Rockies.
Unfortunately, an elbow injury in late July changed everything.
