Professional career

New York Mets
The New York Mets selected Holderman in the ninth round of the 2016 MLB draft and he signed with the Mets rather than transfer to Mississippi State. He began his professional career with the Kingsport Mets of the Rookie-level Appalachian League. He began the 2017 season with the Columbia Fireflies of the Class A South Atlantic League, but underwent Tommy John surgery on April 4, 2018. He missed the 2018 season while recovering from the surgery and the 2020 season due to the COVID-19 pandemic. In 2021, Holderman pitched for the Binghamton Rumble Ponies of the Class AA Eastern League. He had a 3.38 earned run average and served as Binghamton's closer. Assigned to the Arizona Fall League after the regular season, he had a 8.71 earned run average during 11 games and the Mets opted not to add him to their 40-man roster to protect him from the Rule 5 draft. He began the 2022 season with the Syracuse Mets of the Class AAA International League. The Mets promoted Holderman to the major leagues on May 15, 2022. He made his major league debut that afternoon at Citi Field and pitched a scoreless ninth inning against the Seattle Mariners. Pittsburgh Pirates
On July 22, 2022, the Mets traded Holderman to the Pittsburgh Pirates for Daniel Vogelbach. The Pirates assigned him to the Triple-A Indianapolis Indians and promoted him to the major leagues on August 2. On May 4, 2023, Holderman pitched an immaculate inning against the Tampa Bay Rays, retiring Taylor Walls, Luke Raley, and Christian Bethancourt in order. Personal life
Holderman was raised with an older sister, Taylor, who has Angelman syndrome, younger brother Casey, and younger sister Cassidy. Holderman married his wife, Casey Spence, in December 2020. In May 2023, Holderman and his wife announced they were expecting a child in November 2023. References
