With injuries clearing the path, he’s delivered elite stuff—striking out batters, limiting hits, and notching his first save in a clutch win. His ultra-low arm angle and newfound command of fastball and changeup make him a matchup nightmare, especially against lefties. Manager Counsell praises his improved strike-throwing, while Hollowell stays grounded, trusting his process and defense. As the bullpen heals, his experience becomes even more critical—pitching through the pressure of twenty-seven outs, one inning at a time.
