BALTIMORE — The Orioles are officially calling up top prospect Jackson Holliday.

The 20-year-old infielder opened the 2024 season at Triple-A Norfolk after not making the opening-day roster out of Spring Training.

On Wednesday the team released this video of Holliday being told he's going to the big leagues to face the Boston Red Sox at Fenway Park.

In 42 at-bats with the Tides, the former number one draft pick is batting .333 with 2 homers and 9 RBIs.

He will wear jersey number 7, the same as his father, retired former all star, Matt Holliday.

To make room for Holliday on the active roster, Baltimore designated Tony Kemp for assignment.
