Okay, so I was curious about this baseball player, Jackson Holliday, and how much money he’s making. I’d heard some buzz about him being a hot prospect and all, so I figured I’d dig into it. This is what I found out.
First, I searched for his basic contract info. Turns out, he signed a 1 year, $800,000 contract with the Baltimore Orioles. That’s a pretty nice chunk of change, right? I found that the contract includes $800,000 guaranteed, with an average annual salary of $800,000 for 2025. I figured that meant he is making some decent money.
- He got called up from the Minors by Baltimore on July 31, 2024.
- Then, he was optioned back to the Minors on April 26, 2024.
- His contract was purchased by Baltimore on April 10, 2024.
But then, I saw that his total salary for 2024 is actually $740,000. I’m guessing that’s the standard for rookies. I guess when they first make it to the big leagues, they don’t rake in the huge bucks right away. Then I tried to calculate how much is that per minute. It’s about $1.4 per minute. Wow.
Then I started looking into his background. Some other website says this guy was the No. 1 overall pick in the 2022 amateur draft, and he signed for an $8.19 million signing bonus. That’s a lot of money! From what I saw, he was a high school player at that time, which is even crazier. He hit .500 with 16 doubles, six triples, six home runs, and 54 runs scored.

So, there you have it. That’s what I found out about Jackson Holliday’s salary and a bit about his career so far. He’s a young guy with a lot of potential, and he’s already making some serious money. It looks like he’s got a bright future ahead of him in baseball. Pretty interesting, right?
