Jackson Holliday highlights brother Ethan’s top ranking while mom Leslee congratulates him & his wife Chloe on Orioles' postseason clinch
While Jackson Holliday has already made a name for himself, his brother, Ethan Holliday, is turning professional scouts' heads. He has committed to play baseball at Oklahoma State but has aspirations to play in the big leagues like his brother.
According to MLB.com, Ethan ranks as the top high school prospect, and Jackson could not be more proud. He shared the rankings on his Instagram for all of his followers to see.
The brothers certainly have a chance at both being No. 1 picks in the MLB draft. If they accomplish this, they would be the first brother duo to be top draft picks in history.
Leslee, the brother's mom, went to Instagram to congratulate Jackson on Baltimore's postseason berth. She certainly has a lot to be proud of.
What makes Jackson Holliday's brother, Ethan, the top high school draft prospect?
Scouts salivated at how physical Jackson Holliday was before getting drafted by the Baltimore Orioles, but his brother might be even more physical. The young shortstop is excellent with the bat in his hand and has the glove to back it up too.
Scouts are excited about the potential big-league power Ethan could display. His swing from the left side is as smooth as it can be, and he has excellent vision of the strike zone.
Many scouts believe he has the tools to continue as a shortstop, but others believe he may move to third base. Not only does he have a great glove, but he also has a strong arm.
Ethan is also only 17 years old, which means he still has a ton of room to develop and grow. Baseball fans will want to get familiar with his game before he eventually makes his way to the MLB.
