This strategic hire underscores the Mets’ commitment to strengthening their foundational roster through skilled scouting.</p><p>Guthrie’s track record with the Orioles was impressive, highlighting his knack for spotting elite talent. Jackson Holliday, in particular, stands out as a top prospect, having been selected first overall in the 2022 MLB Draft.</p><h2><b>Mets look to find Jackson Holliday-type prospects</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/Jackson-Holliday.jpg"><figcaption>Reggie Hildred-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>His ability to identify such promising young players has made Guthrie a respected figure in the scouting community, and his expertise will now benefit the Mets, who are eager to infuse their farm system with high-caliber prospects.</p><p>The timing of this acquisition is pivotal for the Mets, who are looking to sustain competitiveness in the highly contested NL East. By bringing in a scout with Guthrie’s proven success, the Mets are positioning themselves to make informed decisions in upcoming drafts and international signings, essential components of building a successful team.</p><p>Guthrie’s role with the Mets is expected to mirror his previous responsibilities with the Orioles, where he was instrumental in not only identifying but also signing notable draft picks.

For Mets fans the arrival of a scout of Guthrie’s caliber is a promising development. It signals a proactive approach to team building and a recognition of the critical role that scouting plays in achieving and sustaining competitive excellence.</p><p>As the Mets continue to navigate the challenges of the modern game, having a seasoned scout like Guthrie on board may well prove to be a game-changer.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

All in all, he played 56 games with a slash line of .169/.227/.290, hitting five home runs and 23 RBI.</p><p>While his numbers aren’t something to write home about, fans should remember that Holliday couldn’t even drink alcohol yet. Likewise, the Orioles are mathematically still in the race for the American League East crown, but they will most likely start the playoffs as the top wild-card team in the AL.</p><h2><b>Outlook</b></h2><p>This celebration also trumped the Orioles’ struggles since the All-Star break, as they finished with a losing record after the All-Star game. For one, their catcher Adley Rutschman struggled for most of the games.</p><p>For the other, the Orioles’ trade acquisitions of Eloy Jimenez, Burch Smith, and Gregory Soto have delivered mixed results. Moreover, the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/orioles-news-baltimore-option-trevor-rogers-trade-deadline">Orioles optioned Trevor Rogers to Triple-A</a> for his subpar play, hoping that he could find some juice to help the team in their playoff run.</p><p>Still, some players, such as shortstop Gunnar Henderson, have stepped up for the Orioles. Henderson leads the club in WAR (Wins Above Replacement), turning into one of the best players in the MLB and a bonafide MVP candidate for the second year in a row.</p><p>His performance builds the case for why the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/why-orioles-must-sign-gunnar-henderson-lifetime-contract-extension">Orioles need to extend Henderson</a> to a long-term contract.</p><p>Celebrations aside, the MLB Playoffs begin in October.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

He is currently the top prospect in baseball and is having a solid first season in the major leagues. The oldest son of Cardinals legend Matt Holliday, Jackson is set to be a key piece of the Orioles moving forward. In 2025, his brother Ethan Holliday will likely be the top pick in the MLB draft. They would become the second set of brothers to be drafted number one overall in their sport after the Manning brothers.</p><p>USA Today’s Bob Nightengale spoke to Matt about his two sons and he <a href="https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/mlb/columnist/bob-nightengale/2024/08/18/ethan-holliday-2025-mlb-draft-top-prospect-jackson/74842574007/" rel="noopener">compared them as players</a>. “People look at the size and some of those raw abilities. He’s got 111-mph exit velocity with the bat, he’s got an incredible strong arm, and just some of the tangible things at a young age that he was further along than Jackson was.”</p><p>The Manning brothers are a lofty comparison for two brothers who already have big expectations. Matt was a seven-time All-Star and won the 2011 World Series with the St. Louis Cardinals. Peyton and Eli had a similar hype coming into the pros, as their father Archie Manning was a quarterback. The Orioles are hoping Holliday lives up to both comparisons.</p><p>If Ethan Holliday is drafted first overall, the expectations will be very high. Jackson has started to live up to his hype, putting together a <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/orioles-news-jackson-holliday-makes-epic-franchise-history-amid-hot-streak">three-hit, three-run game</a> last week. The Holliday brothers will almost certainly be in baseball fans’ lives for a long time.</p><h2>Expectations of Orioles’ Jackson Holliday, brother Ethan</h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/Holliday-with-Baltimore-Orioles.jpg"><figcaption>Tommy Gilligan-USA TODAY Sports</figcaption></figure><p>Jackson Holliday is expected to be one of the premier middle infielders in baseball. They traded Coby Mayo to the Miami Marlins at the trade deadline partially because they could afford to let go of him. Holliday came up to the Orioles after the trade deadline and has performed well since.</p><p>Since his most recent call-up, Holliday is hitting .270 with five home runs and 14 RBIs. Team success has not followed, however, as the Orioles are just 8-8 in that stretch. The team does not need Holliday to lead the team this year, as Gunnar Henderson and Adley Rutschman are the offensive stars.</p><p>Ethan Holliday is set to have the same expectations as his brother. He will join a lackluster team just like Holliday did in 2022 and hopefully will be able to power them out of their rebuild. The only thing known right now is that he cannot end up on the Chicago White Sox or Oakland Athletics. The new draft lottery rules forbid certain teams from winning the lottery in consecutive years.</p><p>The team with the worst record heading into Monday’s action is the Colorado Rockies. The Rockies drafted Matt Holliday in the seventh round of the 1998 MLB draft. It ended up being a great selection as he won the 2007 NLCS MVP and finished second in regular-season MVP voting that season.</p><p>While they may not be the Manning brothers, the Holliday brothers are set to join them in the history books. If they can become multiple-time champions like those Manning brothers, expect to hear the name “Holliday” a lot over the next few decades.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

As the team looks to make the postseason for the second consecutive season, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/orioles-news-jackson-holliday-makes-bonkers-american-league-history">young infielder Jackson Holliday</a> showed why so many MLB analysts and pundits rated him as the top overall prospect in baseball. Holliday is now the youngest player in Orioles history to record <a href="https://x.com/BirdlandInsider/status/1824629416263082464" rel="noopener">three hits and score three runs</a> in a single game, according to Birdland Insider on X, formerly Twitter.</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">Jackson Holliday is the youngest player in Orioles history to record three hits and score three runs in a single game. <a href="https://t.co/l5jvLSfG3j">pic.twitter.com/l5jvLSfG3j</a></p><p>— Birdland Insider (@BirdlandInsider) <a href="https://twitter.com/BirdlandInsider/status/1824629416263082464?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">August 17, 2024</a></p></blockquote><p><script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p></figure><p>The loss <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/orioles-news-rival-scout-reveals-baltimores-secret-recipe-developing-hitters">dropped Baltimore to second place</a> in the AL East, one game behind the New York Yankees. The Birds are looking to capture their second straight AL East crown, after winning the division last year en route to the top overall seed in the AL. Even though that mission would not be completed if the season ended today, the second baseman who was taken first overall in the 2022 MLB Draft still took another strong step forward in his budding MLB career.</p><h2><b>Jackson Holliday, Orioles look to continue playoff push</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/Orioles-SS-Jackson-Holliday.jpg"><figcaption>Mandatory Credit: Tommy Gilligan-USA TODAY Sports</figcaption></figure><p>Even after tonight’s defeat, the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/orioles-news-starting-rotation-reinforced-top-prospect">Orioles are only a game</a> behind the Yankees. They are also at the top of the AL Wild Card standings, so they are in control of their own destiny as long as they continue to perform like they have all season long. Remember, two Wild Card teams made it to the World Series last year. That includes the eventual champion Texas Rangers, who defeated Baltimore en route to capturing their first World Series trophy in 2023.</p><p>With scores of young talent, it wouldn’t be a surprise to see Baltimore make a long run in October and beyond. The performance of Holliday was just a small piece in what he has done since his return to the majors a few weeks ago. Tonight’s game was the first four hit performance of his career. Yes, he’s only hit .200 with five home runs and 15 RBI so far, but his effort since returning to the big-league club after the All-Star Break has been particularly impressive.</p><p>Holliday has hit .239 with four home runs and nine RBIs since August 1st, and the game before that was his first one in the majors since late April. In the July 31st win over the Toronto Blue Jays, the former top overall pick hit a grand slam to help the Orioles win 10-4. The promise is there, and it has been more and more apparent <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/orioles-news-jackson-holliday-grand-slam-home-run">since Holliday has returned</a> to Camden Yards. If he can continue to improve, then there is a slightly better chance of the Orioles capturing a Fall Classic crown in late October.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Holliday is stepping up for the Orioles at exactly the right time, and on Wednesday night, he played a starring role in their 7-3 win over the Toronto Blue Jays that ties them with the New York Yankees for the AL East division lead.</p><p>Entering the top of the seventh inning, the Orioles found themselves down 3-2 to the Blue Jays. Holliday came to the plate with one out and a runner on second, and he promptly took Ryan Burr deep, giving Baltimore a lead that they would not relinquish.</p><p>In so doing, Jackson Holliday has now hit a home run in three consecutive games. This is no mean feat, as at 20 years of age, the Orioles second baseman became the <a href="https://x.com/MLB/status/1821371514396037192" rel="noopener">youngest player</a> in the history of the American League to homer in three straight contests, according to the official MLB account on X.

He couldn’t hit a lick, as his strikeout problems posed a lot of issues that the Orioles thought would be best remedied by a trip back to the minors.
