After a sizzling performance in spring training, infielder Jackson Holliday’s surprising demotion to Triple-A lasted only 10 games before the Baltimore Orioles called the much-hyped prospect up to the majors.
With Holliday now in the big leagues, here are five top prospects who could soon earn promotions to the majors:
Dylan Crews | Washington Nationals, outfielder
Drafted: 2023, second overall pick | Current level: Double-A Harrisburg Senators
Crews never threatened to make the majors out of spring training as he scuffled at the plate, hitting .156 over 32 at-bats. He seems to have figured what went wrong in the spring and has been on fire at Double-A, hitting two HRs with 10 RBI over his first nine games.
If this pace keeps up, look for him to at least earn a promotion to Triple-A, if not directly to the majors.
