Young Slugging Infielder Named Rockies Best Power-Hitting Prospect

Holliday is a 19-year-old slugger who was drafted fourth overall in the first round of the 2025 MLB draft. The Rockies had, and continue to have, the utmost confidence in their young prospect. As the son of former Colorado outfielder Matt Holliday and brother of current Baltimore Orioles infielder, he comes from a long line of baseball.

During his 2025 campaign in the minor leagues, he slashed .239/.357/.380 with a .737 OPS and two homers through 18 games with the Fresno Grizzlies. Considering his impressive stat sheet, it's no surprise that he was named the Rockies' best power-hitting prospect.

As noted by Dykstra, Callis and Mayo, "... He might have as much raw and usable power as anyone in his Draft class, and he can get to it effortlessly. It’s a swing built for power with strength, bat speed and leverage. There are some swing-and-miss concerns, but don’t read too much into his very brief pro debut when he was pushed to full-season ball."

Holliday may not have it all figured out at the plate quite yet, but he's only 19 years old, and for that age and general lack of professional experience, he performs exceptionally well. At this rate, he is on track for a phenomenal season.

Between Condon and Holliday, the Rockies have significant talent in their farm system that they must intentionally foster. Colorado has struggled immensely in recent years, but even more so during their latest season. The ballclub is hoping to turn things around during their upcoming campaign, but developing young talent is pertinent when it comes to a franchise's long-term success.

Holliday is an intriguing player who brings raw power and a strong left-handed swing—a valuable asset to many ballclubs. He could very well be the Rockies' next up-and-coming slugger.
