PHOTO: Jackson Holliday's wife Chloe captures Orioles rookie channeling 'FL vibe' in a breezy floral shirt
Chloe and Jackson Holliday are enjoying the prospect's rookie season, traveling and seeing some places they hadn't before. The young couple was in Florida when Holliday and his teammates took on the Tampa Bay Rays. The rookie ensured to capture the vibe of the location he was at for the series.
Holliday wore a Hawaiian shirt that featured a floral background in a tan and off-white color. There was a splash of blue right under the collar on his left shoulder.
The Baltimore Orioles star's wife captioned the picture:
"Jackson Holliday with the FL vibes."
Holliday and Co. have enjoyed the success of their Florida trip. When they take on the Rays for the series finale, they will be looking to complete the sweep and bury their rivals even further in the basement.
Jackson Holliday enjoying much better MLB stint as Orioles leave Florida
Later Sunday afternoon, Jackson Holliday and the Baltimore Orioles will leave Florida. Whether or not they sweep, it will have been a very successful trip. That's emblematic of Holliday's recent return to the MLB.
He was dismal in his first stint. His first 36 plate appearances yielded a 50% K rate and a .054 batting average. He was batting with a negative wRC+, which is almost unheard of.
The Orioles made the tough decision to send him down, but he's been excellent since they finally brought him back up. He hit a home run in three consecutive games and has four in six matches.
His overall metrics still aren't great, but they are an improvement. His wRC+ is inching closer to the league average at 79. His batting average has jumped to .171. After being in the negative for so long, He has a positive fWAR (0.2).
His slugging is up to .400 and his wOBA has risen to .276. If he continues to perform this way, everyone will forget about his lackluster first 36 plate appearances.
