Baseball is enjoying a resurgence in popularity thanks to an increased pace of play, plenty of fire footwear, and an influx of exciting personalities into the sport. The game just got even more intriguing after last night.

Baltimore Orioles rookie shortstop Jackson Holliday made his highly anticipated MLB debut. The 20-year-old is widely regarded as one of baseball’s most promising prospects, coming in at number one across nearly every major prospect ranking this spring.

Holliday's big league debut is just the most recent victory for adidas. The promising prospect is part of a stacked roster of adidas Dugout pro partners, including Aliyah Andrews, Sis Bates, Adolis Garcia, Luis Robert Jr., Corey Seager, Trea Turner, and Julio Rodriguez.

Adidas officially congratulated Holliday on his milestone accomplishment with a social media post across all of its channels. The brand said, "New stage, same game. Welcome to the league, Jackson Holliday. #YouGotThis."

Adidas recently unveiled its 'You Got This' campaign, celebrating the bumpy journey to greatness for athletes at every level. There is no doubt that Holliday will be an integral part of adidas baseball's future. The rookie gave a shout-out to his brand after getting called up to the Show.

"Making my major-league debut is very special and something every young player strives for," said Holliday, who signed with the brand shortly after he was drafted in 2022.

"The support adidas has provided me through this early stage of my career has been immensely important. It's an honor to continue to represent the three-stripes family alongside so many iconic athletes and stars – I look forward to making my debut and playing with and against the best players in the world."

Adidas has the wind at its back with a stacked roster of athletes and an exciting lineup of new footwear. Stay locked into FanNation Kicks throughout the MLB season and the entire sports calendar for all your footwear news.
