He was 3 for 3 yesterday with a double, triple, homer, and 4 for 4 tonight with a double and triple. I think this guy is good.

^ Added another triple to that.

Lol he’s only 5 for 6 with 2 triples now the bum.

How long do they keep him in Aberdeen?

[BSLSteveBirrer]

He has 143 at bats at A/A+ this season with a combined average of .391 and an ops over 1100. His OBP is freaking .500. Move him up.

Holliday's work ethic and growth mindset jumped out at me when listening to him talk around draft time last year. Scary how good this kid can be given the production he's already posting at such a young age.

Second-generation baseball players seem to have a reasonably high success rate for a reason haha

I trust them with minor league promotions. Whenever they think he's ready to move up I'm good with that. Not expecting it soon but he is absolutely killing it right now so maybe they push him more aggressively.

Crazy to think that we could possibly see him in Baltimore early next season.

He'll be 20 in December. Young sure but there are 20 year olds playing top flight sports all over the world. Yeah I know, baseball is hard.....

That far away?

 

If he was on the Angels he'd be up already.

Promoted to AA Bowie.

[BaltBird 24]

Wow. Wasn't expecting that as he had come down to earth a little at Aberdeen.

[DuffMan]

Time to get to Bowie

[Pedro Cerrano]

Love going to games in Bowie.

[Slidemaster]

5 for 9 at Bowie.

Just keeps on hitting.

1. Jackson Holliday, SS, Baltimore Orioles

Previous ranking: No. 19

Holliday’s ascent from “maybe he’s a back of the first round guy” in January 2022 to “best prospect in baseball” 18 months later is about as rapid as I can remember for any prospect. It’s also a credit to the Orioles both for taking him when he was far from a consensus No. 1 in his draft class and for how much he’s already developed in their system. Baltimore just promoted Holliday to Double A, making him one of only four teenage hitters to appear at that level this year (and two of the other three are in the top 10 here), and of course he went eight for his first 16 at the level, raising his line for the season to .341/.471/.529 across Low A, High A, and now Double A. He’s also a true shortstop who’s been impressive at the position, both with his range and his instincts as the ball leaves the bat. How much better will he be when he’s old enough to start shaving?

[Hooded Viper]

Why was Holiday not in the lineup last or the bench for Bowie last night?
