Will Jackson Holliday make the Opening Day roster? Mike Elias has an answer

The 2024 season will be important for 20-year-old Jackson Holliday as he is set to make his debut in the majors this year, barring any setbacks. As things stand, Holliday is on pace to be on the Orioles' Opening Day roster.

During an MLB Network appearance, general manager Mike Elias mentioned that they are inviting him to the spring training camp and are looking forward to his performance.

“We’re bringing him into camp with a chance to make the team, and he’s going to be laser-focused on making the team,” Elias said. “If he does make the team, we’re going to put him on the Opening Day roster.”

Talking about his role, Elias sees him spending time between the second base and shortstop positions.

“I see Jackson being able to bounce back and forth between second and short, depending on the day’s alignment,” Elias said. “I think you’re going to see him at second base a lot during Spring Training, and I know [manager] Brandon Hyde is going to try to put the kid in a position to make the team and give him a real shot for that.”
