Nationals, Angels get key Ethan Holliday update ahead of MLB Draft

The Washington Nationals are taking on the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim this weekend.

For those keeping score at home, you'll know that the Nats have the No. 1 pick in the upcoming MLB Draft, and the Angels go right after them at No. 2.

That made one particular spectator at Saturday night's game an important one.

Ethan Holliday was in the crowd, watching the Nats and Angels play, accompanied by his father and MLB legend Matt.

Holliday might be the consensus top pick, but if he doesn't go No. 1, he'll probably go No. 2.

He's the younger brother of former No. 1 prospect Jackson Holliday, and they're both sons of MLB great Matt Holliday.

Ethan Holliday is a shortstop from Stillwater, Oklahoma.

He's committed to play college baseball at Oklahoma State, although he's unlikely to get there.

Ethan signed an NIL deal with adidas before his senior season of high school.

The left-handed hitter could ascend through the minor leagues as fast as Jackson did.

The Nationals and Angels are facing a big decision, at least potentially, involving this latest Holliday arrival to professional baseball.
