Jackson Holliday has been optioned to the minor leagues by the Baltimore Orioles after he managed only two hits in his first 36 plate appearances.
Highly touted prospect Jackson Holliday has been optioned to the minor leagues by the Baltimore Orioles after starting his big league career with a disappointing thud. Holliday was promoted from Triple-A Norfolk on April 10 amid plenty of fanfare, but the 20-year-old second baseman managed only two hits — both singles — and two walks in 36 plate appearances. He struck out 18 times and was batting just .059 with one RBI and a .111 on-base percentage.
Holliday excelled in the minors last season and was dominating Triple-A pitching at Norfolk, but that didn't translate to success at the major league level during his time with the Orioles this month. 'You're talking about somebody who's never failed before,' Baltimore manager Brandon Hyde said recently. 'I don't think anybody, except for the people that are down here in understand how hard this is.
