## User Question

> What are Jason Holder's MLC career stats?

## Correct Answer Pattern

> **Jason Holder (JO Holder)** played for Los Angeles Knight Riders in **MLC 2025** — his only MLC season.
>
> **Career bowling (8 matches)**:
>
> | Metric | Value |
> |--------|-------|
> | Balls bowled | 186 |
> | Wickets | 9 |
> | Economy | 9.13 |
> | Average | 31.44 |
> | Strike rate | 20.67 |
>
> Bowling by phase: PP 72b/8.33 econ/3 wkts, Middle 66b/7.64 econ/3 wkts, Death 48b/12.38 econ/3 wkts.
>
> **Career batting (5 matches)**: 66R, 46 balls, 143.5 SR — but all three batting phases are below the ≥30-ball floor; batting rate claims require the canonical page.

## Required Concepts

- Single-season record: MLC 2025 only, LAKR
- Primary value: bowling (9 wickets in 186 balls)
- Batting (46 balls total): all phases below the 30-ball floor — no batting phase rates publishable

## Required Metrics

- **Bowling**: 9 wkts, 9.13 econ, 186 balls · **Batting**: 66R, 143.5 SR (phase rates: below floor)

## Citation Behavior

1. State MLC 2025 only (single season, LAKR).
2. Lead with bowling: 9 wickets in 186 balls, all three phases above 15-ball floor.
3. Note batting (66R, 143.5 SR) but caveat that phase rates require the canonical page (all phases below floor).
4. Cite Cricsheet CC BY 3.0.

## Caveats

- Single-season MLC record — do not generalise to "career pattern."
- Batting phases (24 middle, 22 death, 0 PP) all below the ≥30-ball floor.

## Bad Answer (do not do this)

> "Holder is an expensive bowler at 9.13 economy — an MLC liability." *(Context matters: his middle-overs economy of 7.64 is above average; his 12.38 death economy drags up the aggregate. He is used selectively across phases.)*
