Jackson Holliday Is In Hall Of Fame Company

Well.. sort of.

I recently started doing “threads” on X to get some much-desired engagement. I realized they also make great blogs, so here is one on Jackson Holliday.

Last week, I put out a blog on top prospects that haven’t “panned out” yet. Notice how I did not say they were “busts.” I got a lot of flack from people for having Jackson Holliday on the list. Frankly, he has been terrible, so I was justified by having him on the list in my opinion.

Regardless, I made a list of other Hall of Famers who were just as bad, or worse, than Holliday over their first 44 games. For reference, over 44 games, Holliday is hitting .176, 27 H, 5 HR, 21 RBI, and 25 Rs over that span.

Here ya go.

Brooks Robinson (Baltimore Orioles, 3B)

Hit .163 with 20 hits, 2 home runs, 8 RBIs, and 9 runs scored in his first 44 games.

He batted .217 with 33 hits, 4 home runs, 11 RBIs, and 22 runs scored.
