Cardinals fan here, eager to watch the breakout of Jackson Holliday. I hope he has a Rookie-of-the-Year season for Baltimore. Go Orioles!

Good luck to your Cards as well!

Saw him in Norfolk a few times last year. Hope I can see him again, looks like he’s gonna make O’s roster, which is great. He’s got no problem giving autographs either! Dude can RAKE 😮

0:58 there’s always someone backing a truck up at these complexes 😂

I’m a Marylander who played at MD back in the ACC days. FSU had J.D Drew on their team my freshman year. Been living in Tampa for 10 years now. A coworker of mine played at LSU with Kevin Gausman. We went down to Sarasota and walked up to KG’s bullpen session. He was sitting 97 on the gun like it was nothing lol. Topped out at 99 that day. Mat is so right about everyone looking way bigger when you’re on the field next to them. Jackson is an exciting prospect. My uncle saw him in Bowie (AA) last year. I’m heading down to Sarasota next week!!

Great commentary. I'm excited to follow Jackson Holliday.

Good stuff like always Ant

Hey buddy thanks for the content. It's not Gunnar it's Kjerstad

There are some people in the O’s organization that feel like Kjerstad will be the first player to hit the warehouse in an actual game. His power is consistent to all fields so he should have a nice career if healthy. In my opinion Henderson will also have a shot once his body fills out and he gets bigger. Go O’s!!!

@@AntonelliBaseball Sure. He and Basallo have the best lefty power in the organization. Kjerstad's batting practices are famously spoken of.

Hoping that the O's have another great year, they were exciting to watch last year. Just need that playoff experience to take it to the next level.

I remember these days...love that there are plenty of vids to look at now. I was Triple A in (Gwinnett, GA.), few years back.

Spring training always brings the excitement up for the season to start, even when your team will be at the bottom. My White Sox 😢

U did good showin us what it looks like in Sarasota...most in Balto City never been there

I’ve been playing organized baseball since I was 7 and will be 45 soon after this season ends with me never missing an entire season. Been playing with our adult team for 22 years and counting. If you ever get better than average it’s a long season. I was/am a catcher and chose the position.

Cool idea for a video.

Saw him in AA last summer. He looks like the real deal, especially with the bat.

I enjoyed Camelback Ranch a lot. It gives a similar vibe this video does except everything is cactus instead of palm trees since it’s in AZ. I would imagine more restrictions because of Shohei this year, but it was very open. There were a ton of players out between both the Dodgers and White Sox. Goodyear Ballpark was fairly open as well. It just came across a lot more outdated. Salt River Field was nice too. But none of them hit like Camelback Ranch. Enjoyable video as always!

Yup it’s beautiful out there!

Very interesting comment on addley taking mostly lefty hitting rounds. People saying you need to hit double the amount when a switch hitter. I’ve heard other people say 80% practice left and 20 right because that’s the ratio they will hit roughly. 80% left and 20 right.

9:43 was Heston Kjerstad

Are the spring training facilities open to fans all the time, or do you have to get access to go in? I’d love to go see spring training practices and behind the scenes some day

Hey Matt my throwing acuracy has been really off lately and I was wondering if you have any tips

Orioles fan here from ancient times. I remember when spring training was literally needed for players to get in shape after being totally inactive in the offseason . Now I follow players like Alex Bregman, who shows the insane amount of offseason work needed to stay competitive. You should check out his channel.

Kjerstad is going to be a great hitter for a long time. People forget he's only had 1 full season in the minors and he's already with the big league team. He's only played about 40 games more than Holliday in the minor leagues.

Who knew we’d ever be saying this, but the orioles are stacked. Adley matt Gunnar etc etc. good for them.

He is going to be a good one. He for sure hit the calories and weight room. Wow I just look up his brother. He is 6'$" 194.Boy once he muscles up

I just watched a segment on MLB and Jackson was interviewed. He said hi brother is a stud.Way better that he was at his age@@AntonelliBaseball I am a baseball junkie.lol

Looks like that was actually Heston Kjerstad hitting before Jackson

You are in Sarasota so you should definitely try out 420 munchies. It is good but not good for you lol.

🙂 Orioles Reds and Cubs are stacked with minor league talent. You saw what happened with the Reds last year with their rookies. Jackson is a natural power hitter. Maybe he won't hit a ton of homers but he might be a great gap hitter.

Caught a couple balls like Willie Mays Hayes - Lol!

Stand next to Andrew Vaughn he is smaller than you expect. They have him listed at 6ft he is definitely 5’10

Kid looks like a Rafy Devers clone at the plate. Insane how much plate coverage he has. He hit 9 HR's last year on pitches out of the strike zone.

Didn't Adley hit a 470 foot bomb last year left handed? I always thought he was better from the left side.

@@AntonelliBaseball I just looked up his splits. Looks like he is better as a righty. About the same power, but a much lower average batting from the left side. The HR I was thinking about came against the Twins before the all-star break. I think it was 460 or 470.

Thats Kjerstad not Henderson
