Jackson Holliday Hits First Career HR Upon Return To Orioles 

Post#1 » by RealGM Wiretap » Thu Aug 1, 2024 12:56 pm

Jackson Holliday hit a grand slam hours after being recalled from the minor leagues, which was his first career MLB home run. 

Holliday was called up April 10 to join the Orioles\' elite core of young players. But he went just 2-for-34 with 18 strikeouts in 10 games before being optioned back to Triple-A Norfolk. The No. 1 overall pick in the 2022 draft, Holliday batted 271 with 10 homers, 38 RBIs and 75 walks in 73 games at Norfolk.

Holliday is expected to slot in at second base after the Orioles\' deal Tuesday involving fellow rookie Connor Norby, who was traded with outfielder Kyle Stowers to the Miami Marlins for left-hander Trevor Rogers.
