👏 Why the Hollidays are the Ultimate Baseball Family

Greg Olsen Uncovers Holliday Family Secrets

[LINK] The Holliday family is baseball royalty. Father Matt was a seven-time MLB All-Star and Jackson was the No. 1 pick in the 2022 Draft by the Orioles and the top prospect in baseball before being called up for good last season. Now Ethan is the next in line and was just drafted No. 4 overall by his father’s old team—the Colorado Rockies.

Greg Olsen recently sat down with all three Hollidays to try and uncover any family secrets about developing as baseball players. Yes, good genes help, but at the end of the day there’s no substitute for hard work and grit.'

“If your kid has a passion to practice then they have a chance to pursue [their sport] at a high level,” Matt Holliday said. 

As Matt moved around the country, he looked for youth coaches who would help his sons develop. His best advice to parents is finding people who put development over winning.

“Try to do your research and find out if people had good experiences with [coaches or clubs],” Matt Holliday said. “An emphasis on teaching kids how to play the right way was important to me and should be important to parents.”
