It will only be a matter of time before Jackson Holliday makes his MLB debut. However, it might not come at his natural position. A shortstop by nature, in order to make the Baltimore Orioles' Opening Day roster, Holliday could be lined up as the club's primary second baseman.

In an exclusive interview with Sportskeeda, Holliday explained that the shift to second base is a challenge that he is open to. He added that he is focused on being ready for Opening Day if he is called upon. Although second base is not his natural position, Holliday explained that he and the team have been putting in the work defensively to help him adjust to the change.

"I’m gonna take it and run with it," Holliday said of the opportunity to star as the Baltimore Orioles second baseman.

The MLB's top prospect is excited by the notion of moving to second base if it gives him the opportunity to increase the number of games he is able to play.

Jackson Holliday says there is still room for improvement at second base

Even though Holliday is confident and excited about the opportunity to potentially play second base this season, he will be the first to admit that there is still plenty of work ahead of him. The shortstop dove into the differences between the two defensive positions, with the footwork required during double-play scenarios being one of the most noticeable differences.

The Baltimore Orioles brought in veteran Kolten Wong this offseason, who has been helping Holliday make the transition to the new position. The former Seattle Mariners infielder has been helping the superstar prospect with the finer points of the position.

The sky is the limit for Jackson Holliday, and if he can play second base with the same skills he has across the diamond, he should excel at his new position. It's going to be an exciting year to be a Baltimore Orioles fan.
