The Baltimore Orioles are calling up infielder Jackson Holliday, the No. 1 prospect in baseball, after a torrid start at Triple-A this season, a source told ESPN on Tuesday night.
The 20-year-old Holliday, who was the top pick in the 2022 Major League Baseball draft, excelled in spring training but was optioned to the minor leagues to begin the season. In 10 games with the Norfolk Tides, Holliday hit .333/.482/.595 with two home runs, nine RBIs, five doubles and 12 walks against eight strikeouts.
Holliday is expected to join the Orioles, who are 6-4 after a win against Boston on Tuesday, at Fenway Park on Wednesday.
