Переглядів 1,275,457
5 місяців томуToday we're joined by the Holliday fam for a 10-out home run derby in Stillwater, Oklahoma! A huge thanks to the Hollidays and the Oklahoma State Cowboys for having us out.
Matt (43) is now retired but he finished his career with 316 MLB home runs across 15 years in the big leagues (Rockies, Cardinals, Athletics, and Yankees).
Jackson (19) was the 1st overall pick of the 2022 MLB Draft and is currently the top-ranked prospect in the Baltimore Orioles organization.
Ethan (16) is a junior at Stillwater High School and is currently the #1 ranked high school prospect in the 2025 class.

Matt Holiday is low key living every mans dream. Having a long and successful career in the MLB, then having your two sons be some of the top prospects in baseball, but still being young and healthy enough to show them up in a home run derby lol

Jackson has the exact swing my college coaches told me I couldn’t be successful with, and I love it. Big stride, lunges, and long through the swing. Not every hitter has do it the same way.

Watched Matt at Coors field score the winning run in the play-in game for win 163 to get a wild card spot and ultimately make it to the WS, fireworks blasting off in the right field upper deck that’s now known as “The Rooftop”. Ethan has some autos out there..,I pulled a 16U USA of him, and Jackson is a legit MLB star in the making. Matt hits monster bombs! Matt’s early days smashing ginormous homers at Coors field was normal and he had the 2007 NL MVP in the bag for sure!!
