ABERDEEN, Md. – JACKSON HOLLIDAY, Baltimore Orioles’ 2022 1st overall draft  pick, has been promoted from the Delmarva Shorebirds (Single-A) to the Aberdeen IronBirds (Advanced-A), the Orioles  announced today. Holliday, son of retired Major League 7-time  All-Star Matt Holliday, re-joined the Shorebirds out of 2023 Spring Training, having posted a .297/.489/.422 line in 20 games in 2022. His 2023 campaign is more of the same, with .392/.503/.530 in 51 at bats this year, including 2 home runs and 15 RBI. Holliday has also posted highlight  reel plays on defense, adding to his overall scouting profile. “The IronBirds are thrilled to have Jackson  joining us here in Aberdeen to play in Leidos Field at Ripken Stadium,” celebrated Jack Graham, IronBirds  GM. “He’s a special player and we are thrilled to have him joining the ranks of players who have stopped  in Harford County on their journey through Birdland.” 

Holliday joins the team as they begin a road series in Wilmington, Delaware, against their cross-border  rivals the BlueRocks, Advanced-A Washington Nationals affiliate.
