Good morning Mets fans!
After a strong start to the season in Triple-A, the Baltimore Orioles are promoting 20-year-old Jackson Holliday to the major league squad, as first reported by ESPN’s Jeff Passan.
Holliday, the first pick in the 2022 draft and MLB Pipeline’s No. 1 prospect was hitting .333 with a pair of home runs and nine RBIs in 10 games to start the season. He’s the son of former big leaguer Matt Holliday.
The infielder is expected to join the Orioles on Wednesday in Boston. Holliday and reigning rookie of the year Gunnar Henderson have the potential to create one of the sports most dynamic middle infield duos.
