With the league&#8217;s top-ranked farm system, it&#8217;s no surprise that the Orioles&#8217; Spring Breakout roster is loaded. Joining Holliday in Bradenton will be fellow Top 100 Prospects Samuel Basallo and Coby Mayo, along with 15 of the Orioles&#8217;<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mlb.com\/prospects\/orioles\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">\u00a0Top 30<\/a> prospects.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If Skenes gets the start for the Pirates in the seven-inning exhibition game, he will face Holliday for the second time this spring. The two top prospects first squared off on February 29th when the Pirates faced the Orioles in Sarasota. Skenes took the mound in his first Spring Training start while Holliday batted leadoff. Holliday grounded out on the second pitch from Skenes to start the bottom of the first inning.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Samuel Basallo (MLB #17) has yet to play in a game this spring as he recovers from an elbow stress fracture. The catcher\/first baseman participated in live batting practice earlier this week and is hopeful he\u2019ll get a chance to play at Spring Breakout. Infielder Coby Mayo (MLB #30), on the other hand, is slashing .417\/.563\/.667 in just six games this spring.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Orioles Spring Breakout Roster<\/h3>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4>Pitchers<\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cade Povich, LHP, #10<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Trace Bright, RHP, #17<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Keagan Gillies, RHP, NR<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Nolan Hoffman, RHP, NR<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yaqui Rivera, RHP, NR<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kade Strowd, RHP, NR<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4>Catchers<\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Samuel Basallo, C\/1B, #2 (MLB #17)<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Creed Willems, C\/1B, #30<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Silas Ardoin, C, NR<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Connor Pavolony, C, NR<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4>Infielders<\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Jackson Holliday, SS\/2B, #1 (MLB #1)<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Coby Mayo, 3B\/1B, #4 (MLB #30)<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Connor Norby, INF, #7<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Max Wagner, INF, #15<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Leandro Arias, INF, #16<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Frederick Bencosme, SS, #28<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Billy Cook, INF\/OF, NR<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4>Outfielders<\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Enrique Bradfield Jr., OF, #6<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dylan Beavers, OF, #8<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Jud Fabian, OF, #13<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Braylin Tavera, OF, #14<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Thomas Sosa, OF, #23<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">John Rhodes, OF, #24<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Matthew Etzel, OF, NR<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>How to Watch<\/h3>\n<p>The Orioles will play the Pirates on Thursday, March 14th, at 7:05 p.m. ET at LECOM Park in Bradenton, FL.
