Scouting Report
Updated May 19, 2026
Colin Holderman, signed by the Cleveland Guardians to a $1.5M contract in the 2026 offseason, struggled early in the season (3 ER in 3.0 IP with 2 walks in first two outings) and was optioned to Triple-A Columbus on March 29. Since being recalled on April 26, Holderman has been exceptional, posting a 1.50-1.84 ERA over 13.2-14.2 innings with 0 earned runs allowed in recent appearances, 0.57-0.75 WHIP, 14-17 strikeouts, and minimal walks. He has become a trusted high-leverage reliever for the Guardians, earning the confidence of manager Stephen Vogt and coaching staff. His heavy sinker and sweeper combination has made him a dominant force in the bullpen during a crucial stretch when other relievers have been injured or underperforming.
