Friday afternoon was a media circus. After all, this was baseball royalty descending on LoDo.
Baltimore Orioles second baseman Jackson Holliday , left, and his father, former Colorado Rockies player, Matt Holliday during an interview before the game against the Colorado Rockies at Coors Field in Denver Friday, Aug. 30, 2024. Ethan Holliday hung out in the visitors’ dugout at Coors Field on Friday afternoon. The 17-year-old kid was in his element.
“Jackson is a really mature kid,” Matt said. “At 20 years old, he’s handling it all really well. He’s very even-keeled and he handles both success and failure really well. I’ve been really proud of how he’s handled it. He’s been an adult for a while.” “It’s been chaotic, ” he said. “I got called up, I got sent down, and I dealt with an injury . I think I’ve learned quite a bit. I’ve learned to trust the process.”
“I’ve loved baseball for as long as I can remember,” Ethan said. “Not just because of my dad, and my brother, and all of my family. I love the constant grind of trying to get better every day. I’ve loved getting to know all of the people I’ve met through the years. Ethan, who just started his senior year at Stillwater High School, where he takes mostly online courses, is widely considered the best eligible player in the 2025 major league draft. He competed in the High School Home Run Derby at this summer’s All-Star Game in Arlington, Texas, and slugged 11 home runs in the first round.
The Holliday brothers will tell you that their dad is the most competitive person they’ve ever known. He’s passed that fire on to them, but Jackson and Ethan face pressures their dad could never have comprehended when the Rockies drafted him in the seventh round in 1998 out of Stillwater High.
