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.
Thomas Harding of MLB.com reported that senior director of scouting operations Marc Gustafson gave insight into the selection, and pointed to Holliday's raw physical traits like power that can only stand to massively develop for the 18-year-old.
