The Baltimore Orioles reassigned infielder Jackson Holliday to their Minor League camp ahead of Opening Day.
Holliday is the top prospect in the league heading into the season, making the Orioles' decision to start him out in the Minors a bit of a surprise. The Orioles' infield is a bit crowded so it's unclear when exactly he'll be called up this season, as promising as he looks as a prospect.
Holliday posted a strong .941 OPS across several levels of Minor League play as a 19-year-old last year and was off to a strong start in Spring Training this year with a .954 OPS across 48 plate appearances. He'll be expected to make an impact in the Majors whenever he does get the call up.
