High school slugger Ethan Holliday is headed to the Rockies.
The club selected the left-handed hitter with the fourth overall pick of the Major League Baseball draft on Sunday. He’s the son of former Rockies slugger Matt Holliday, who was the cornerstone of Colorado’s only World Series team in 2007.
There was widespread speculation that the Washington Nationals would take Holliday with the No. 1 overall pick. But the Nationals, who recently shook up their front office, surprised many draftniks by selecting Eli Willits, a 17-year-old shortstop from Fort Cobb-Broxton High School in Broxton, Okla.
As a senior at Oklahoma’s Stillwater High School, the 6-foot-4, 210-pound Holliday hit .611 with a 2.038 OPS, 19 home runs and 64 RBIs.
