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.

The Colorado Rockies took Ethan Holliday No. 4 overall in the MLB draft. How long until he reaches the major leagues?

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.
