The Colorado Rockies selected a familiar name with the No. 4 overall pick in Major League Baseball’s annual draft Sunday night. The Rockies used their first-round selection on Ethan Holliday, son of longtime big leaguer Matt Holliday and younger brother of current Baltimore Orioles second baseman Jackson Holliday.

Ethan, at 18, is an infielder at Stillwater High School in Oklahoma. He is the No. 5 draft prospect.

The famous player in this year’s draft. Holliday is the son of a former All-Star and the brother of a future one, placing enormous expectations on his own career. Fortunately, he is an intriguing prospect who may end up being chosen No. 1 overall, thereby matching his brother and becoming the first set of siblings to each be chosen at the top of the draft.

Matt Holliday, a seven-time All-Star, enjoyed a successful 15-year career from 2004-18, including six seasons with Colorado from 2004-2008 and again in 2018. He finished with 2,096 hits and 316 home runs. The Rockies drafted Matt in the seventh round of the 1998 draft from the same high school Ethan attended.

“It’s a really incredible opportunity,” Ethan remarked on MLB Network about being drafted by his father’s former team.

Jackson Holliday, another Stillwater alumnus, is in his first full season with the Orioles. He maintained a batting line of .259/.309/.416 entering Sunday’s game and had been the No. 1 overall pick in 2022.

The Rockies have had a top-10 pick in each of the last six amateur drafts and, having entered Sunday with an MLB-worst 22-73 record, it seems poised for another top-10 draft selection next season.
