The Baltimore Orioles are set to call up the top-ranked prospect in baseball, Jackson Holliday, to make his major league debut with the team. Holliday, a 20-year-old infielder and the No. 1 pick in the 2022 amateur draft, had an impressive stint in Triple-A Norfolk this season, hitting .333 with two home runs and five doubles in just 42 at-bats.
This move comes after the Orioles’ successful 2023 season where they won 101 games and claimed the AL East division title. With Baltimore currently in Boston for a three-game series, fans are eagerly anticipating Holliday’s debut at the major league level.
Holliday is expected to make a significant impact with the team, as he is considered one of the top prospects in all of baseball. This call-up also allows him to accumulate a full year of service time, potentially giving the Orioles an extra draft pick if he excels in the majors this season.
Baltimore’s impressive farm system has produced stars like Gunnar Henderson and Adley Rutschman in recent years, with Holliday being the latest talent to emerge. As Holliday prepares for his major league debut, he will look to continue that trend and help lead the Orioles to even greater success on the field.
