Jackson Holliday Hitting Leadoff On Tuesday
6 months agoBaltimore Orioles shortstop prospect Jackson Holliday, the consensus No. 1 prospect in baseball this year, is starting at second base and batting leadoff in Tuesday's Grapefruit League game against the Detroit Tigers. Holliday has a realistic chance to make the club's Opening Day roster out of camp, although he's gone 0-for-4 with a walk and three strikeouts in his first two spring training games. If the 20-year-old does make the Opening Day roster for the O's, he'll be the team's starting second baseman to start. In the long term, there's no question that Holliday will be a shortstop in Baltimore, but the temporary move to the keystone will give him a better chance to contribute sooner than later at the big-league level. The upside is through the roof with the youngster, making him worth a stash in mixed fantasy leagues in 2024.
