Jeremiah Jackson

Signed to a minor-league contract last offseason, Jackson got an opportunity to play regularly for the Orioles down the stretch of a forgettable 2025 season. The 26-year-old was a bright spot, putting up a .775 OPS and swatting five home runs over 48 games while seeing starts in right field and at third base. Jackson collected a robust .377/.400/.673 batting line with 11 home runs in 40 games during his time with Triple-A Norfolk last season, though that came just a year after he slashed an anemic .205/.245/.373 at the Mets' Double-A affiliate in Binghamton in 2024. The nice first impression at the plate Jackson made in Baltimore, along with the defensive versatility to play most spots on the diamond, should put him in the mix for a reserve role in 2026. That said, if the Orioles bounce back this season as they expect to, it's unlikely Jackson will play a significant role. Read Past Outlooks
