Results for: Jackson Holliday

After a dismal start in the majors, top prospect Jackson Holliday has been sent back to Triple-A by the Baltimore Orioles. Holliday’s poor performance, including a 2-for-34 showing with 50% strikeout rate, has raised questions about his development and the team’s championship aspirations. The Orioles have historically enjoyed quick success with top prospects like Adley Rutschman and Gunnar Henderson, but Holliday’s case highlights the challenges that can face even highly-touted players. Holliday’s struggles emphasize the importance of patience and the need for continued improvement in his approach.

The Baltimore Orioles have announced that they have optioned shortstop Jackson Holliday to Triple-A Norfolk. The move comes after Holliday struggled in his brief time with the major league club, going 2-for-34 with five runs scored and 18 strikeouts in 10 games. Holliday made his MLB debut on April 10 against the Boston Red Sox but failed to record his first career hit until his fourth game on April 14. He would only record one more hit before being sent down to Triple-A on Friday. The Orioles were initially criticized for leaving Holliday off their MLB roster at the start of the season, and his struggles in the majors have only intensified those criticisms. However, the Orioles hope that sending Holliday back down to the minors will help him regain his confidence and develop his skills further.
