Orioles Officially Invite Jackson Holliday To Spring Training
10 months agoBaltimore Orioles shortstop prospect Jackson Holliday, the No. 1 overall prospect in the game per MLB Pipeline, was one of 20 non-roster players invited to the team's major-league spring training. This had been the expectation all along, but it's now official. The 20-year-old son of former big-leaguer Matt Holliday made it all the way to Triple-A Norfolk in 2023 and hit a combined .323/.442/.499 with 12 home runs in 125 games over four minor-league stops last year. He'll be joined by fellow top prospects Samuel Basallo, Coby Mayo and Connor Norby and will have a legitimate shot at cracking the Opening Day roster for the O's if he impresses in spring training. Even if Holliday doesn't start the 2024 season in the big leagues, he deserves to be drafted in all single-year formats.
