O's fans...what's the deal with Jackson Holiday?
34 at bats in 10 games. 2 singles and 18 Ks. Went 1-4 yesterday to RAISE his batting average to 0.059.
That's a pretty big sample size......

He's a kid, in the bigs......allow him some time for adjustment. Spoke with a guy that was alongside him in his brief minor league stent - said he's the best hitter he's ever seen....
He will be ok. The pressure is immense. He has probably NEVER had to deal with failure at the plate and at his age, letting this get in your head is difficult not to do.

He's 20, and he's probably pressing a little bit. Maybe he could use a bit more time in the minors, but 34 ABs is nothing. Francisco Lindor started this year 1/31 for the Mets.

...and that's just swing decisions. Batted ball results become meaningful much later.
And, of course, hype doesn't hit. Dude's just a rookie getting his first taste. That's the deal.

Maybe Jackson H is just pressing too much. He will figure it out eventually.
