The Colorado Rockies got a gift on draft night. Sitting at pick No. 4, they had whom many people consider to be the best player in this year's class fall to them, adding prep standout Ethan Holliday whose family knows a thing or two about this franchise.

Stillwater star infielder Ethan Holliday was taken fourth overall by the Colorado Rockies in the MLB Draft on Sunday night.

Ethan Holliday was almost 8 months old when his father, Matt Holliday, and his big brother, Jackson – then 4 years old but aware – were on the infield at Coors Field celebrating the Rockies’ qualification for the 2007 World Series.
