The names at the top of the Top 100 Prospects change, but one theme remains constant.
Once again, an Orioles prospect ranks No. 1.
This time it is 19-year-old shortstop Jackson Holliday, the No. 1 pick in the 2022 draft who zoomed to Double-A in mid July.
Holliday follows in the footsteps of catcher Adley Rutschman and third baseman Gunnar Henderson, who ranked as the No. 1 prospects in baseball heading into the 2022 and 2023 seasons. Holliday is the favorite to complete the Baltimore hat trick in 2024.
If he ranks No. 1 next spring, Holliday would be the third consecutive Orioles prospect to rank No. 1 on the canonical preseason Top 100 Prospects. That would be a first.
Holliday spent three-plus months at Low-A Delmarva and High-A Aberdeen
