Harrison Grant Holmes (born March 22, 1996) is an American professional baseball pitcher for
the Atlanta Braves of Major League Baseball (MLB). He was
drafted by the Los Angeles Dodgers in the first round of the 2014
MLB draft. He made his MLB debut in 2024 with the Braves.
Holmes attended Conway High
School in Conway, South Carolina. He was considered one of the top
prospects for the 2014 Major League Baseball draft. He committed to the University
of Florida.
The Los Angeles Dodgers selected
Holmes in the first round, with the 22nd pick, in the 2014 draft. Holmes signed
with the Dodgers on June 17, 2014, for a $2.5 million signing bonus. The
Dodgers assigned him to the Arizona League Dodgers to begin his
professional career. He was 1–2 with a 3.00 ERA in seven appearances for them,
before he was promoted, on August 14, 2014, to the Ogden Raptors. In
four starts for Ogden, he was 1-1 with a 4.91 ERA. Holmes was assigned to
the Great Lakes Loons to start the 2015 season. He was selected to
the mid-season All-Star team. He finished the season with a 6–4 record and
3.14 ERA in 24 starts. Holmes was promoted to the Rancho Cucamonga
Quakes to start the 2016 season.
On August 1, 2016, the Dodgers
traded Holmes, Jharel Cotton, and Frankie Montas to the Oakland
Athletics in exchange for Rich Hill and Josh Reddick. Oakland
assigned Holmes to the Stockton Ports, where he finished the season; in 26
total games (23 starts) between Rancho Cucamonga and Stockton, he posted a
combined 11–7 record and 4.63 ERA. Holmes spent 2017 with the Midland
RockHounds, pitching to an 11–12 record and 4.49 ERA with 150 strikeouts
in 148+1⁄3 innings pitched.
On November 20, 2018, the
Athletics added Holmes to their 40-man roster to protect him from the Rule
5 draft. Holmes missed over a month during the year with shoulder
soreness, and split the 2019 season between Midland and the Las Vegas
Aviators, going a combined 6–5 with a 3.23 ERA and 81 strikeouts over 86+1⁄3 innings. In 2021,
Holmes played for Triple-A Las Vegas, and pitched to a 8.01 ERA in 36
appearances for the team. On April 1, 2022, the Athletics sent Holmes outright
to Las Vegas, removing him from their 40-man roster. He was released on
July 28, 2022.
