Jackson Holliday Makes First Professional Start At Third Base
1 year agoBaltimore Orioles top prospect Jackson Holliday made his professional debut at third base during his most recent outing for High-A Aberdeen. Learning the new position may forge a clearer path to the big leagues, considering that Gunnar Henderson and Jordan Westburg crowd Baltimore's present and future infield slots. Holliday continues to excel in his first full minor-league campaign, slashing .325/.463/.531 across 63 games. At just 19 years old, Holliday was recently minted as baseball's top overall prospect, per MLB Pipeline. He's unlikely to ascend to the majors this season, but a 2024 debut is well within reach. Whenever his time comes, he'll be an immediate impact player, possessing 55-grade power, 60-grade running, and a 60-grade hit tool. Fantasy managers in deeper leagues should already be aware of Holliday.
