Jeremiah Jackson Faces Roster Crunch Following Disappointing Season

After starting the spring as a sensation with a .317 average and five home runs in 18 games, Jeremiah Jackson suffered a massive offensive slump. In 102 games, he hit just .217/.247/.365 with 10 homers and a 3.4% walk rate, eventually losing his playing time by June and bouncing between Triple-A and the majors. Still in pre-arbitration, Jackson faces an uphill battle to secure a roster spot next season amid a crowded Orioles infield featuring Blaze Alexander and returning players.
