American media spotlight: “The holiday era has begun”
Infielder Jackson Holiday, Baltimore’s top prospect
No hits in 4 at-bats, 2 strikeouts, 1 RBI.
A young baseball player who performed poorly without any notable results made headlines in American media.
The protagonist is Jackson Holiday (20), a rookie infielder for the MLB Baltimore Orioles.
Local media such as MLB.com expressed that “the era of the holiday has begun.”
Holiday, considered one of MLB’s best prospects, started as the number 9 hitter and second baseman in the visiting game against the Boston Red Sox held at Fenway Park in Boston, Massachusetts, USA on the 11th (Korean time). 메이저사이트
Holiday did not record a single hit that day, but the American media focused on his every move.
MLB.com introduced, “Although Holiday did not score a hit, he made his MLB debut by playing stable defense.”
ESPN reported in detail the details of his debut game, saying, “Holiday became the second youngest player in MLB after Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Jackson Churio (20).”
Holiday is the son of Matt Holiday, who played in 1,903 MLB games and hit 316 home runs.
Holiday, who inherited his father’s talent, attracted the attention of MLB scouts with his extraordinary athletic ability from a young age, and was selected by Baltimore as the first overall pick in the 2022 draft while he was in high school.
Holiday also played on a different level in the minor leagues.
This year, he performed well in 10 minor league Triple-A games with a batting average of 0.333, on-base percentage of 0.482, and slugging percentage of 0.595 before receiving a call for promotion to the big league.
He passed all minor league courses from Rookie League to Triple A at lightning speed in just two years.
Holiday, who made his debut, said, “After receiving the MLB call-up call, I called my father while traveling to Boston, where the game was being held. It was a really cool moment.”
He added, “I didn’t get good results today, but I will try to adapt comfortably.” 온라인 슬롯
