Today we're joined by the Holliday fam for a 10-out home run derby in Stillwater, Oklahoma! A huge thanks to the Hollidays and the Oklahoma State Cowboys for having us out.
Matt (43) is now retired but he finished his career with 316 MLB home runs across 15 years in the big leagues (Rockies, Cardinals, Athletics, and Yankees).
Jackson (19) was the 1st overall pick of the 2022 MLB Draft and is currently the top-ranked prospect in the Baltimore Orioles organization.
Ethan (16) is a junior at Stillwater High School and is currently the #1 ranked high school prospect in the 2025 class.

Matt Holiday is low key living every mans dream. Having a long and successful career in the MLB, then having your two sons be some of the top prospects in baseball, but still being young and healthy enough to show them up in a home run derby lol

Lol that thing was absolutely PISSED on
I watched Matt during BP in Milwaukee and he was hitting them half way up Bernies slide.. they were majestic.
Jackson has the exact swing my college coaches told me I couldn’t be successful with, and I love it. Big stride, lunges, and long through the swing. Not every hitter has do it the same way. Big leaguers have the widest variety of different swings and hardly any are the “textbook, coach perfected” swing.
did anybody else notice the absolutely manic backspin that jackson got on those hits holy back spin
watching pro's absolutely wreck it with juiced bats is a convo that all of us have had at some point and finally getting to see it was awesome! This was superb content boys. side note: why does Matt look like he just rips phone books in half for fun these days 😳 what an absolute beast
Shout to Will for creating this channel I been watching since 2020 and I missed ball so much I go into a men's league at 35! And RACKED! if it's in ya it's ya. Ball for life 1 Peter 2:17
Absolutely love the production quality on this vod. The varied camera angles and ball tracing... I can tell a lot of love went into this video. Fire as always. Thank you, bat bros!
Jackson's swing looks so effortless. Can't wait to watch his career blossom here in BMORE
So freakin sick
Awesome HR Derby, it’s cool to see the Holliday family’s swings up close and compare them to footage from in-game highlights.
Jackson Holiday just made major league debut with the Orioles and the kid is a gamer for sure!
Growing up in St. Louis, Matt Holliday was a staple of my childhood. Thank you for all you've done for our community.
Insane video. The Holliday family is on another level! I'm convinced 43 year-old Matt would be a top-half DH right now after seeing those exit velos.
My 7 year old and I saw Jackson play with Bowie vs The Richmond Flying squirrels. Jackson was on fire that game. My boy was like who is that. We had no idea. Looked him up and saw he’s from Stillwater. Small world as I went to OSU. Go Pokes and O’s.

Lucky enough to see the number one prospect in all of baseball. Thats awesome. Especially as he was only with Bowie for a short period. Can’t believe he made it all the way to AAA in his first professional season
Much respect to a great dad living the best life with his family. Nice work boys.
Matt “biceps” Holliday hell yeah! Still got big boy juice
God, I loved watching Matt Holiday in the 2007 season where everything just looked effortless and his boys look good. I’m happy I get to see the family tree staying at MLB. For me to watch another holiday
Man, Matt Holliday still has it! Granted the Easton Reflex is still an absolute cheat code of a bat, but still, retired from the league for 5 years and still hitting nukes…goddamn lol
Jackson's swing is so interesting. His right foot doesn't even really touch the ground until he actually plants.

Looks like he’s made some pretty big adjustments since going pro or may just be for bp. Hovering his front foot to insure he’s back side heavy and has good weight transfer.
Great content. Matt is still a monster. Baseballs current 'first family?' They're some good people. My son has played against Ethan for years. Gotta love the 'days!
Definitely a top 5 bat bros vid of all time
That was fun to watch. The old man can still swing it.
Matt Holliday makes it look so easy that is EASY pop. Absolutely underrated hitter when he played. His boys are right behind him though, that whole family is stacked lol
Matt was always such a beast and so humble. One of my favorite players of all time.
As someone who has loved baseball for 42 years since I was 5, these videos are so fun to watch.
Bro Matt Holliday was so ruthless back in the days, I still remember the HR Derby he participated in and hitting a 497 feet HR. Favorite LF of all time after Barry.

Matt holliday is 44 years old swinging like he never retired. Respect
When I was playing college ball, we played the Colorado Springs Sky Sox, and Matt Holiday was on the team. He hit two absolute laser home runs off us. One of them was to straight center, and hit about 2/3 up the batters eye. He was a monster!
I forgot how massive Matt Holliday is, dude is just straight jacked
Officially my all time favorite vid on this channel! Matt Holiday is a legend. Seeing the next generation was special content.
Loving the shirt the oldest Holliday was wearing. Class Act
Jackson Holliday's swing is so impressive. Dude moves through the whole pitch.
Been watching since day one!!! Really awesome to see this Chanel evolve and grow. Congrats will!!!!
Matt was one of my favorite guys growing up a Cardinals fan in the early 2010s. Nice to see him and his sons hit some tanks.
Thanks Matt for letting me see a Major leaguer hit with a reflex .. 😮. Just what I thought ! As an Oklahoman who loves the orioles Go O’s !!
One of the coolest content you got bro! Rockies fan myself. The Holiday 3 are a confident bunch. Watched Matt at Coors field score the winning run in the play-in game for win 163 to get a wild card spot and ultimately make it to the WS, fireworks blasting off in the right field upper deck that’s now known as “The Rooftop”. Ethan has some autos out there..,I pulled a 16U USA of him, and Jackson is a legit MLB star in the making. Matt hits monster bombs! Matt’s early days smashing ginormous homers at Coors field was normal and he had the 2007 NL MVP in the bag for sure!!
Wow, can we sign Matt so he can play together with Jackson? Dude is a hitting bombs!!! This has to be such a surreal moment as a father, super awesome, wish Jackson and Ethan nothing but the best in there MLB careers. Go O's!!!!
I freaking love the HOLLIDAY family! Matt is one of my all-time favorite players, and Jackson is right there with him. Ethan's also a beast! This is the best video I've seen in a while, thanks for sharing!! I absolutely love this channel, keep up the great work, guys!!!⚾️🔥⚾️🔥⚾️🔥⚾️🔥⚾️🔥⚾️

When you see hitters of this caliber, always watch the legs!!! They all have extremely great lower half swings!
Matt has always one of those feared hitters for pitchers. Any moment he could launch one.
As a 38 year old Orioles fan I can’t wait to see Jackson in the show. Hopefully we can retain these young superstars. I just want one title in my lifetime, I’m not greedy.
As an Orioles fan, I am so happy Jackson is repping! Can't wait to see him in the big leagues next year! Let's go O's!

You, Sim & some of the boys should see if a bat company or a lumber mill/carpentry business with proper machines/tools/materials will allow you to make your own bats & then test to see whose is all around better using your scoring system on metal bats.
