Good morning, Birdland!
The Orioles won another spring game on Tuesday, beating the Phillies 3-2. That’s all well and good, but two players in particular really stole the show: Jackson Holliday and Albert Albert Suárez.
We know about Holliday. The former top pick is immensely talented and in the middle of a great spring. He went 3-for-4 in this one, falling just a home run short of the cycle. His exit velocities were 104.4 mph (double), 102.3 mph (single), and another 102.3 mph (triple). That performance pushed Holliday’s Grapefruit League numbers to .333/.364/.619.
The big question around Holliday is when, exactly, he will be in Baltimore.
