Will Holmes was The Citadel’s ace: a strikeout-heavy lefty who delivered in the biggest moments
In the 2026 season, Will Holmes emerged as The Citadel’s dependable Friday-night weapon, finishing 7-4 with a 4.19 ERA, 99 strikeouts in 77.1 innings, and a conference title-clinching gem with 7.0 innings, 10 strikeouts, and just one run allowed. He’s a classic value-add left-hander: competitive, durable, and tough in leverage spots, with enough swing-and-miss stuff to miss bats without needing perfect command every night. If a team wants a battle-tested starter who can set the tone and handle pressure, Holmes is absolutely worth a look.
