There was a ton of excitement surrounding the Baltimore Orioles when they made the decision to call up their No. 1 prospect Jackson Holliday.
Considered the top player in all of minor league baseball, there were high expectations for the son of seven-time All-Star, Matt Holliday.
Much of the hype was warranted as well. He slashed .323/.442/.499 with 12 home runs, 51 extra-base hits, and 75 RBI during 125 games of his first full professional season in 2023.
Yet, things have not translated to the Major League level for Holliday.
Entering Wednesday’s contest against the Minnesota Twins, he came in with just one hit out of 22 at-bats. In the finale, he wracked up another zero hit performance, going 0-3 at the plate with two strikeouts.
The struggling youngster now has a slash line of .040/.077/.040 with 14 strikeouts in 25 at-bats.
