The Baltimore Orioles are set to bring up top-ranked prospect Jackson Holliday, according to a source close to the team. The 20-year-old infielder was the No. 1 pick in the 2022 amateur draft and has shone in the minor leagues. Despite missing out on making the opening-day roster by a whisker, Holliday impressed with a .333 batting average, two home runs, and five doubles in just 42 at-bats with Triple-A Norfolk this season.
The timing of Holliday’s call-up is strategic as it allows him to accrue a full year of service time and potentially earn the Orioles an additional draft pick if he remains in the majors for the rest of the season and receives Rookie of the Year honors or MVP consideration. MLB Pipeline ranks Holliday as the top prospect in baseball, highlighting his potential to become a standout player.
The Orioles are currently in Boston for a series against the Red Sox, coming off an impressive 101-win season in 2023 where they clinched the AL East division title. With young talents like Gunnar Henderson and Adley Rutschman already making their mark in previous seasons, Holliday is set to join a promising crop of players developed through Baltimore’s impressive farm system. Following a thrilling 7-1 victory over the Red Sox, the Orioles are looking forward to continuing their winning ways with Holliday’s anticipated debut on the horizon.
