Clay Holmes is a Silver 77 OVR Starting Pitcher card for the Cubs, part of the Live set in MLB The Show's Diamond Dynasty. He throws right-handed. The card was added to Diamond Dynasty in April 2026.

On the mound, Clay Holmes works with a 5-pitch arsenal led by a 94 mph Sinker and a 90 mph Cutter. His pitching ratings include 90 Velocity, 66 Control, and 99 Break. The profile favors a movement-heavy arsenal built to miss bats. Notable quirks include Stopper and Break Outlier from a total of 3 quirks.

DiamondOps grades each pitch in Clay Holmes's arsenal: Slider (S), Sinker (S), Sweeper (S), Cutter (S), and Circle Change (A). 4 of them grade S-tier, which is what separates a genuine out-pitch mix from a deep-but-flat arsenal. Its strongest tunnel pairing is the Slider off the Cutter, so the two share a release look. Velocity works against the card here — its 90 mph Sinker is slow enough to cost it in the arsenal score. Arsenal grades are the same at every difficulty — unlike a hitter's OpScore, a pitch mix does not re-weight as you climb.
