However,\u00a0a small adjustment from his father kick-started Baltimore&#8217;s infielder.<\/p>\n<p>Now, he is setting career highs across the board. There is no telling where his ceiling is so early in his career, but the Orioles have a third player to add to their talented young core.<\/p>\n<p>Holliday spoke to MLB.com&#8217;s Jake Rill about his experience in Major League Baseball so far. According to the infielder, his teammates&#8217; support has\u00a0helped him acclimate\u00a0to and produce in the big leagues.<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cI don\u2019t know if comfortable is the right word, but I definitely feel like I\u2019m getting my footing,\u201d Jackson said. \u201cThere\u2019s a lot of good guys around here that are helping me get better every day. Just to be in a group like this, it\u2019s easy to get better, and it\u2019s been awesome.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Earlier this season,\u00a0Henderson was optimistic about the Orioles&#8217; playoff chances. Now, it looks like the team has to wait until next year to be contenders again.<\/p>\n<p>However, Mansolino has another bona fide star to build around as he grows alongside the rest of the core.<\/p>\n<p>Having Holliday alongside Henderson and Rutschman in the infield is a big luxury for Baltimore to have.<\/p>\n<p>The Orioles&#8217; struggles include injuries, trades, and overall discourse. Despite all of those obstacles, Baltimore has had stretches that give fans hope about the future. Holliday figures to be a big part of it if he continues to grow his game in the field and at the plate.<\/p>\n<p>If he does, the Orioles won&#8217;t be at the bottom for very long and could contend for years to come.<\/p>\n<\/article>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Orioles\u2019 Jackson Holliday shares key factor behind steady MLB ascent Baltimore Orioles second baseman Jackson Holliday&#8217;s improvement has been constant, and he credited his success to his&#8230; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":89619,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-89616","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-mlb"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.7 -
