For all of the disappointments the Baltimore Orioles had to endure in 2025, one of the bright spots was the rise of Jeremiah Jackson. In the wake of the Gregory Soto trade, Jackson was called up to fill the extra roster spot in the hopes that his 135 wRC+ in the minors last season could translate into an offensive boost that Baltimore desperately needed.
While he cooled off a bit after an insane start, Jackson held up his end of the bargain in his first look at the big leagues with a .755 OPS in 183 plate appearances with Baltimore.
