Grant James Holman (born May 31, 2000) is an American professional baseball pitcher for the Athletics of Major League Baseball (MLB).

Amateur career

[edit]

When he was 13, Holman played in the 2013 Little League World Series, where he threw a no-hitter.[1][2] He attended Eastlake High School in Chula Vista, California and played college baseball at the University of California, Berkeley.[3] In 2019, he played collegiate summer baseball with the Cotuit Kettleers of the Cape Cod Baseball League.[4]

Professional career

[edit]

Holman was drafted by the Oakland Athletics in the sixth round, with the 188th overall selection, of the 2021 Major League Baseball draft.[5] After signing, he made his professional debut with the Single-A Stockton Ports. Holman split 2022 between the rookie-level Arizona Complex League Athletics and High-A Lansing Lugnuts, with an aggregate 1–5 record, 4.75 ERA, and 40 strikeouts across 41+2⁄3 innings pitched.[6]

Holman split the 2023 season between the ACL Athletics, Lansing, and the Double-A Midland RockHounds. In 35 total appearances for the three affiliates, he registered a 4.26 ERA with 60 strikeouts and 3 saves over 44+1⁄3 innings of work.[7]

Holman began the 2024 season with Double-A Midland, making 17 scoreless appearances with 24 strikeouts and 6 saves. In June, he was promoted to the Triple-A Las Vegas Aviators, where he had an 0.92 ERA with 30 strikeouts over 23 appearances. On August 16, Holman was selected to the 40-man roster and promoted to the major leagues for the first time.[8] In 18 appearances for Oakland, Holman logged a 1-1 record and 4.02 ERA with 16 strikeouts across 15+2⁄3 innings pitched.

Holman was optioned to Triple-A Las Vegas to begin the 2025 season.[9] The Athletics recalled him on April 23, 2025.[10] In 22 appearances (two starts) for the team, he posted a 4-2 record and 5.09 ERA with 17 strikeouts over 23 innings of work. Holman was optioned back to Las Vegas on June 16, after J. T. Ginn was activated from the injured list.[11] However, on June 19, Holman's option was rescinded and he was placed on the injured list with rotator cuff tendinitis.[12] On July 15, he was transferred to the 60-day injured list.[13]
