Colorado on Sunday selected 18-year-old Ethan Holliday — son of former Rockies star outfielder Matt Holliday — with the No. 4 overall pick in the MLB draft. Holliday, a 6-foot-4, 210-pound shortshop with power, was hardly a surprise pick entering the draft, as national draftniks universally had him coming to the team who drafted his father.

Holliday will join his brother, Jackson, in MLB — and will do so with the same team that selected his father, Matt, in the seventh round of the 1998 draft.

Ethan Holliday and Kade Anderson went into the 2025 MLB draft as potential No. 1 overall picks. Instead, Anderson went No. 3 to the Seattle Mariners and Holliday fell to the Colorado Rockies at No. 4.
