Jackson Holliday Playing Second Base In Spring Opener
7 months agoBaltimore Orioles infield prospect Jackson Holliday is starting at second base and is hitting seventh in the lineup for Saturday's Grapefruit League opener against the Boston Red Sox. Holliday, baseball's top prospect per MLB Pipeline, is a natural shortstop, but he's going to get plenty of action at the keystone this spring and could be the favorite to be Baltimore's Opening Day second baseman if he impresses in spring training games. The 20-year-old former first overall pick hit .323/.442/.499 with 12 home runs and 24 stolen bases in the minors last year at just 19 years old. The upside is through the roof with Holliday, and even if he starts the year at Triple-A Norfolk, he should be drafted in all fantasy formats with the potential to make an immediate impact whenever he gets to Baltimore.
