WATCH: Jackson Holliday's epic golf shot sparks hilarious jabs from friends
Baltimore Orioles infielder Jackson Holliday is enjoying the offseason, and he recently went to a golf course to play with friends. However, one of his shots took a different (and hilarious) turn.
In the video uploaded by @bustajackgolf on Instagram on Friday, Jackson Holliday is seen taking a stance with the golf club to hit a shot. He takes a swing, but the ball makes contact with a tree branch and comes right back toward him, and he catches it.
This moment made Holliday's friends burst into laughter, and Holliday also cracked a joke in between.
"Well, I don't have to go very far to find my ball," Holliday said.
The caption on the video was also a fun take on Jackson Holliday's lucky golf shot.
"Just another day at the office for @jackson_holliday7," it read.
The friends of Holliday mocked him for such a shot, as one of them stated that it looked great in the camera in a way to console the second baseman. Meanwhile, another one mentioned that he was quite impressed with Holliday when he actually caught the returning golf ball.
Jackson Holliday looks back on his rookie season
Jackson Holliday had some promising moments in the 60-game debut season this year with the Baltimore Orioles. However, he also had his struggles.
Even though Holliday didn't play during the Orioles' brief two-game postseason appearance, he still felt bad for the team when they lost to the Kansas City Royals American League Wild Card series back on October 2.
Holliday had disappointing numbers this season, as he hit only .189 with a .565 OPS and was struck out 69 times in 208 appearances in total.
"I’ve gone through stints where I’m like, ‘OK, this is how I thought I would be as a player.’ But I mean, I got beat up a little bit," Holliday said on the final night of the O’s season, per MLB.com. "I think I’ll be better for it and have a better idea of how I want to attack this offseason and leading up into Spring Training."
Now, Holliday must try to learn from his mistakes for the upcoming 2025 season as he tries to secure his spot as the Baltimore Orioles' starting second baseman.
