Orioles rookie ace Jackson Holliday is teaming up with YouTuber Eric Sim for an epic collaboration alongside his father, Matt Holliday, and brother, Ethan Holliday. The Holliday has a tradition of nurturing exceptional baseball talent.
Matt played in the big leagues for 15 years with four different teams, while Jackson made his MLB debut with the Orioles last year, and Ethan is projected to be the potential No. 1 overall pick in this year's MLB draft.
The collaboration with Eric Sim is a surprising offseason move. Eric Sim shared the exciting news on social media, posting a picture with the trio inside an indoor baseball facility and revealing details about the upcoming star-studded video. The caption read:
"Matt Holliday, World Series Champion, 7x All Star, 4x Silver Slugger. Jackson Holliday, 1st Overall pick in 2022, one of MLB’s biggest rising stars."
"Ethan Holliday, Projected 1st Overall pick in this year’s MLB Draft. Eric Sim, YouTuber that can bench 385lb. Full video coming soon. #baseball #MLB #Hollidays."
Both Jackson and Ethan credit their father, Matt, for their interest in baseball. The family owns a house in Stillwater, Oklahoma, where they've installed state-of-the-art training facilities inside a massive barn shelter.
The facility includes a pickle ball court, batting cages with the latest simulator, a portable golf simulator, a wiffleball field, and a basketball court. Both brothers train here with their father.

Former Rockies legend and 2011 World Seires champion with the Cardinals, Matt Holliday, crushed some mammoth home runs alongside his sons, Jackson and Ethan Holliday, during a night training session in December 2023. Take a look at some of the special hits from the Home Derby here:

In the video, the trio can be seen launching multiple baseballs into the night sky. It's clear that Matt has passed on his skills to his sons, and it will be interesting to see if Ethan can follow in his brother Jackson's footsteps by being drafted first overall in the 2025 MLB draft.
