As the MLB season officially opened for all 30 teams, just about every prognosticator’s list of Rookie of the Year favorites included someone named “Jackson.”
That’s because the Baltimore Orioles’ Jackson Holliday, the Milwaukee Brewers’ Jackson Chourio and the San Diego Padres’ Jackson Merrill are the No. 1, No. 2 and No. 12 ranked MLB prospects, respectively, according to MLB Pipeline, and are expected to be impact rookies in 2024.
Holliday is starting the season at Triple-A Norfolk, although the Orioles should promote him sometime after April 12 when they can ensure an extra year of service time before he becomes a free agent.
