Jackson, Matt Holliday on Draft

Jackson Holliday and his father, former big leaguer Matt, join Alanna Rizzo to discuss his future and the upcoming 2022 MLB Draft

[@johndurrer7869]

If prime Ohtani and Trout can’t change a franchise around no single player can

[@1BitcoinVersus]

U need them + a shortstop a catcher a pitching staff and a closer.

[@GriseldaBSF410]

2 players isn't nearly enough. That's why I love baseball ! It truly takes a team effort. Hardest thing to do in sports is hit a baseball. A round bat on a round ball! When u can fail 70% of the time and still be considered good you know that it's not easy

[@Playboyy1985]

a single player only gets 4-5 at bats so no its impossible for one player to do it

[@KDotO79]

@@GriseldaBSF410 I would say that's subjective and generally bias saying from fans of baseball as scoring goals in hockey is just as hard to do physically ans statistically. Percentage wise in the nhl good goal scorer score at avg rate of 14 percent, the best of the best usually scores around 18 percent. So yeah very low success rate as well. As amateurs I believe some of the hardest thing to jump in and do against a pro in no particular order is scoring goals, hitting a baseball, landing punch in boxing and returning a serve.

[@fernandez29637]

I agree 100

[@kobyschechter8163]

I loved Matt Holliday when he was a Yankee. What a family. I hope Jackson makes it to the big leagues.

[@TP-pq9xx]

He did

[@theearl1477]

Number one pick! Great to see another Holliday in baseball. Matt was one of my favorite players during his playing days and will be a fine mentor to his son. Congrats and good luck to the both of you.

[@djt8870]

that kid is still a little boy. no way hes ready for mlb

[@doctorstrainlove6318]

Welcome to Baltimore Jackson, stoked!

[@zeusdeuce7438]

I know EXACTLY what he means about watching his 3 year olds swing 😆 I played in college and when I would get in a slump you start thinking about all the things you need to be or aren’t doing at the plate. I remember wishing I could go back to not even thinking about it just like as a kid

[@good_to_be_gold8]

As a fan of Matt when he was with the Cards I hope his kid has a terrific career also. We all fans of the game at the end of the day! Can't wait to watch Jackson play.

[@artpekarekiii4320]

I am grateful for Matt Holliday for showing everyone how the game can be played, on and off the field. I am grateful for what he has done for baseball. He always did the right thing. It makes me happy to know he had a big following after he left St Louis with the Yankees, and I'm humbled that he decided to support his family by going back home instead of warming a bench for the Cardinals. I would have loved him in St Louis, but I wouldn't have loved him missing his family, and not being there when it was most important. Just more signs of how great Matt and his family are. Thank you for all you do. AMEN

[@yelton21]

Followed Matt with my hometown Asheville tourists NC got all the autographs I could get even with Todd Helton and Eric young jr. eras MATT was the man there and took the time for the fans too!

[@The_Gunner9]

Seems like a good young humble man. I hope the orioles draft him🙏🏼

[@Ford_demon]

Congrats !

[@Austinthagoat]

They did!

Seems like great family, and young man. Congrats on #1- and hope to see you in an Orioles uniform someday soon!

[@joseangel937]

NUMBER 1 BABY!!!

[@stevenkoudanis5238]

Matt still looks like he can play and as a Red Sox I’d take him on team

[@Playboyy1985]

What a great relationship they have

[@MichaelA_thony]

Best of luck to him. Hope we get to here his name called in The Show. Great personality on this kid but can you expect anything else from him with the Father he has. And that damn swing is perfect. I was freeze framing the at bats. Try and find a flaw. You really can’t. Nit pick, of course you can but this boy is the real deal. 🙏

[@SirMrZombie]

God damn this is making me feel old

[@amaritheskater]

Lol how he look so young but old at the same time 😂

[@namastemcl]

Jackson we will welcome you at Camden Yards 😎😎

[@Chris_T1an]

Looks like the O's got themselves a good one.

[@jeffphillips3933]

I hope he gets called up to the O's soon.

[@drippyproductions3315]

Got autograph today the guys legit

[@frankl3518]

Welcome to Charm city

[@Christian-lt9th]

Would love to see this kid play for the Cardinals some day!

[@marcmaza2821]

Jeez he looks young!

[@alexlim1275]

reporter: do you know how to do laundry matt: do you? jackson: yeah!

[@chriskelly6559]

And now here he is, going to be the next ROTY. Go O's!

[@davidmazzini783]

Completely forgot about Matt Holiday,the dude could flat out Rake.

[@marklewis5733]

Lets go O's! Lets put some size on this boy and get em up there!

[@capcitycode2456]

Wow man he looks like a baby. Pretty fortunate kid best of luck to him

[@darrenlesueur4785]

it comes down to money . if you get drafted high you take the money if your not go to college.

[@JEFE310]

The jawline runs in the family

[@williesquire-zw4nx]

Jackson Holiday will be the starting shortstop for the orioles next year. The infield will be young with Gunner at 3b and Jordan at 2b and Adley at catcher. And Cory Mayo on the with at 1b on the way. The drafted players are ready to play with the veterans. But Jackson will complete the rebuild 😊Let's go Os 😊

[@theathjr]

Matt is flexxin dem arms haha

[@jefferylord3068]

Matt is looking jacked still

[@1yungez]

dude looks exactly ike his mom

[@theravagedgrapefruit8190]

#1 pick? You ain’t no Ken Griffey Jr or Dave Winfield. A lot of pressure!

[@sunshine_tidings6983]

Welcome to the O's young buck

[@bradschmittling8118]

Who career will be better ??

[@tellybriggs6019]

Get that money kid

[@rustyshackleford5516]

The choice was obvious,at least for the kid. When she said enter the draft he couldn't hide his smirk.

[@somedude626]

Ask Brice or cano if they can singlehanded turn a franchise around 😂

[@dominickolas]

That Oklahoma State hat that Matt is wearing basically says O"s! So it was destined to be.

[@soundwavs1961c]

Is he part Oriental?

[@mzbn5251]

why the mushroom cut for every baseball player.

[@jimmyj944]

Matt, don’t think anyone has forgotten your dirty slide to Scudero you dirty player. Hopefully your son is different.

[@paratroopmike3754]

“How can he pass it up?” Um my parents have money. The NCAA scam won’t break me.

[@DBE.S.O510]

Must be nice to have a mlb father 🤦🏾‍♂️

[@krakenNation]

We love you Jackson Go Orioles

[@bostoncityofchampions6581]

You're going all right. Straight to the basement in the AL East.

[@jamesgeshel7867]

Looks like he's 12

[@linus4693]

Maybe a bit babyface but physic wise definitly not

[@kcdetroit4685]

Jackson seems like a good kid. I was he would a future Tiger.

[@macsloan58]

Hopefully the kid is good. He has some work ahead of him. A good haircut would do him good then he wouldn’t look so feminine.

[@thatboydre8649]

If I was him i would stay at OSU your dads already rich and OSU is a great school and your in better facilities plus you get a college experience. However if you don’t like school and maybe he wants to make his own money.

[@Rodentiaman70]

Matt holiday doesn’t age.

[@robloxvids2233]

This lady seriously thinks it's Matt's decision? Lol. It's Jackson's decision.

[@bostoncityofchampions6581]

Here's hoping Jackson's sex change operation is a success. Although frankly, I'm still not sure which sex he actually chose.

[@davidurban6090]

Hes a better hitting Bobby Witt Jr.

[@koreankid1011]

Now Jackson is a Baltimore Oriole

[@jimmiemacd3603]

I’d go to college, enjoy that young college poonany that’s just slapping him in the face left and right. It’s not like he’s hurting for money the family has money so why not.

[@ct1711]

No way he’s the best player in all of high school and college at 18 yr old. So what he hit well in high school. Do the same in the SEC or ACC then you may have merit when hitting against the best pitchers in the country.

[@daking414]

You’re drafting him for what he is at 20/21 not 18 lol

[@darrellhenderson8694]

i agree.. you mean to tell me he has a higher ceiling from playing high school ball as opposed to a college player who has just finished his junior or senior season at a higher level of play. there is no way

[@kevinburke6055]

He just got called up.

[@oldben1800]

dudes a kid man

[@AOkie68]

I heard he signed w OU...Boomer!

Baseball makes me yawn! Make it more exciting

[@TeamMarineService]

@Levi Thompson Ugh No Way!!!

[@atlrts]

Sorry miss Jackson but your not better than Druw Jones.

[@ronachten2902]

Definitely could be the case, but name calling an eighteen year old kid who has achieved some amazing things himself is an interesting choice. Best of luck to both of them, as it couldn't have been easy to have Dads who played in the majors.

[@stephonlamar1815]

Druw is Better, but Jackson is just as good but w/o the attitude ‼️🤦🤦‍♀️🤦‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤷 He's more Mature, which shows itself the most in baseball, He'll get to the show in a year or 2

[@atlrts]

@@stephonlamar1815 Druw is a good kid also. The kid has a great attitude and is very mature beyond his years. I watched him play a few times his HS is right down the road from me.

[@darrellhenderson8694]

@@atlrts do you think Druw would hold his own against very good college players like he did against high school players? i dont know if he would because playing college baseball in the ACC or SEC or any conference is a lot different than player high school ball. what do you think?

[@atlrts]

@@darrellhenderson8694 I think Drew would excel at any level. And I think he will excel in the minors and become a solid MLB player. I also think the same about Jackson Holliday.

[@Firestorm2814Sector]

Dude has a female face with a grown man’s voice

[@gotithonest777]

This goes to show you don’t have to be good just know the right people! This is such BS. I see so many great players not get the recognition! This kid would be D3 if his dad didn’t play pro ball. I am not knocking him at all. Just need some truth out here for some great player being over looked!

[@simonbaribeau4853]

Absolute idiotic take..

[@doctorstrainlove6318]

Bruh this is literally THE year for "legacy" players..

[@dustinzellmer4342]

Taking that the kid hit .680 at the high school level and broke a hit record I can't agree with you on that take.

[@zachpierce641]

You’ll be really ticked off when you find out he has a younger brother that is probably going to be drafted pretty high too., but seriously you either make it or you don’t. It doesn’t matter who you know you’re not going to get to that level just because your dad was a decent player at one time

[@Sumoboi1]

1st overall pick multi million dollar signing bonus yeah bro hes D3 lol

[@mr.nobody9697]

So great being white and wealthy.
