Baltimore Orioles top prospect Jackson Holliday is getting the call-up to The Show and is expected to make his MLB debut in the coming days.
Holliday, who is widely regarded as MLB's top overall prospect, enjoyed a sensational Spring Training. He followed that up by dominating Triple-A ball in Norfolk, hitting .333 with two home runs, five doubles, nine RBI and a 1.077 OPS, essentially forcing the Orioles to call him up just two weeks into the 2024 MLB season.
