Wrap Up:
Ranked the #1 farm system across all platforms, the Baltimore Orioles’ future is brighter than ever. While it is possible that Jackson Holliday makes the Opening Day roster and contends for Rookie of the Year, he’s going to have his work cut out for him. There will be some stiff competition for AL Rookie of the Year this season, particularly that of the Texas Rangers’ young superstar Evan Carter, who is the current favorite for the title. However, Baltimore boasts the last two AL Rookie of the Year awards. Could 2024 add a third? We shall undoubtedly watch with great interest!
