The Orioles have selected infielder Jeremiah Jackson to their roster, filling the spot vacated by left-hander Gregory Soto, who was traded to the Mets. Jeremiah Jackson, 25, is making his major league debut after impressive performances in the minors, hitting .311 with 15 home runs over 351 plate appearances. His strikeout rate significantly improved from previous years, dropping from 33% to 14.2%. Jackson has experience playing multiple infield and outfield positions, and his future may involve further moves within the Baltimore roster in the coming days.
Jeremiah Jackson, 25, gets called up to the majors for the first time and will be making his debut as soon as he gets into a game.
He signed a minor league deal with the club in the offseason and has been putting up huge numbers in the minors this year.
Jackson has a combined line of .311/.340/.538 line and a 135 wRC+ after split between Double-A and Triple-A with 351 plate appearances.
The lack of strikeouts this year is notable, as that was a key problem for Jackson in previous seasons.
