Jackson Holliday 2024

He got one!  I think it helped facing a flamethrower like Uribe.  Clutch hit too.

That's been my impression of him too from the MiLB times I've seen him.  He seems a bit more shy/aloof.  Not the center of attention extrovert type like the crew ahead of him (Adley, Westburg, Cowser, evem Hunnar).  Nothing wrong with it either.  One can hope it means he won't seek out a large market team...

Though the relational dynamics in the minors that can be a bit more 'stars' and 'scrubs' if that's how one views things...

Looks like he gets a hug from Cowser/Henderson. I’m at the game and it’s very bright, so hard to see on my phone.

He even looked better in the AB following the hit. More patience and tried to foul off a pitch that he got fair, but we have been seeing him straight up wiff on that picth

I'm not worried about his bat, he seems to not get to too many balls, but maybe he's not comfortable diving for stuff at 2B yet?

Looked more comfortable but the ball he hit was 6 inches inside.

I'm glad he got a hit, but if Hoskins wasn't holding a runner it's a groundout to first base, which is where most of his balls in play have been, groundouts to the right side. I'm not worried, he'll adjust.

I was there too.  Bleacher seats with the family.  The natives were getting restless after his first 2 ABs...  Glad he got #1 out of the way!  Because I'm confident the boo birds were coming.

I’d hope O’s fans would be a little better than that.

Nobody is going to boo the number one prospect after his first 4 games. They wouldn’t even do that in Philly.

OAA is already a +2 after his first 3 games at 2B.

Right and DRS has him at -1. The data in 3 games is pretty meaningless, but it appears to me, that several balls hit his way that he didn't make an attempt on could have possibly been at the least knocked down. I'm sure the ball gets on him differently at 2B after being at SS for so long, and I'm not worried, but he's watched some balls just go by without even trying to make an attempt on a play.
