Jackson Holliday is coming to Orioles spring training. That’s no surprise. He was there last year too, as was Coby Mayo. It’s still exciting. Just as exciting and only a bit less surprising is that fellow top prospect Samuel Basallo is also on the O’s spring training camp roster that the team announced on Tuesday morning, just eight days ahead of when pitchers and catchers will be reporting to Sarasota.
In all, the team announced a non-roster invite list of 20 players. That’s down a big amount compared to last year, when the team invited 30 in addition to the players on the 40-man roster who are automatically included.
