Jackson Holiday gets called up to the Orioles; Should you add him?

04/09/2024

BREAKING NEWS: The Orioles Jackson Holiday just got called up to the MLB. The number one pick from the 2022 MLB Draft had 14 hits and 18 runs in just 10 games in the minor leagues this year. He also batted .333 with a 1.077 OPS so far this season. For those that are seeing this news and wondering what to do with him, we'll tell you if he should be ignored or picked up this year.

Holiday will have a great MLB career, and if your in a dynasty league he's already on some teams roster, but in redraft and keeper leagues its different. Jackson Holiday is only rostered in about 43% of leagues, so he could be available in your league. In three years in the minor leagues, he batted .321 with a .949 OPS. He only slugged 15 homers in three years, but he isn't much of a power hitter and more of a Steven Kwan hitting with a Billy Hamilton type speed, which can highly contribute to the contending Orioles. He is a major contact guy, which can work out like Steven Kwans rookie year, where he only had six home runs but was a top 10 outfielder. We would advise to try and pick up Holiday in leagues where he isn't rostered, and if he is try and buy low on him
