NORFOLK, Va. — The Baltimore Orioles promoted top prospect Jackson Holliday to Triple-A Norfolk, another step in the 19-year-old shortstop’s remarkable rise through the minors in his first full pro season.
Holliday is baseball’s No. 1 prospect, according to ESPN’s Kiley McDaniel, and he was the top pick in the 2022 draft. He went 1 for 4 with a walk and a double in his Triple-A debut Tuesday night against Jacksonville, which won 9-4.
Holliday, the son of former big league outfielder Matt Holliday, played for Delmarva and Aberdeen at Class A this year, then hit .338 with 15 extra-base hits in 36 games for Double-A Bowie.
He’s part of a loaded Orioles farm system that already produced Adley Rutschman and Gunnar Henderson — two key players for the Baltimore team that has the best record in the American League.
