Jackson (19) was the 1st overall pick of the 2022 MLB Draft and is currently the top-ranked prospect in the Baltimore Orioles organization.

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
Wanna hear something crazier? That other kid was his third son whose I think 9 or 10 so there’s a fourth holiday otw
That's not low key at all
I obviously know Jackson as a casual but Ethan is good too your saying?? That’s sick
@@dezcaughtit3103Ethan is the top recruit in the 2025 class as of a few days ago
@@Mikeoxlong-lr3rv I just checked his wikipedia, the 3rd son is Reed plus they also have a daughter named Gracyn who's the 3rd oldest sibling with Reed being the youngest.
You should 100% make this a series! Ex-MLB players vs. their kids in a homerun derby is content I’d watch any day of the week!
yesss maybe druw jones and adruw jones?
Hell yes 🔥
Vlad Sr vs Jr vs Vladi
10000%
This and maybe have multiple hitters for bat comparisons every now and then when it's convenient.
Seeing Matt Holliday hit an absolute NUKE over the scoreboard brings me back to my childhood
Nice profile picture
This is SO EPIC
MLB commented wow
Woah MLB is here
Indeed it is Just like @MLB
It’s crazy what @MLBP do with Wood 🪵
woah what up mlb
Matt Holliday still an absolute unit
Dudes jack3d af😂😂😂
Matt Holliday will forever be remembered for being a prick, regardless of his family ties.
@@Sheryl510 bruh. People can change. He doesn't have a prick attitude to me in this video
@@Sheryl510He was absolutely not a prick with STL. Sounds like you’re butthurt
@@Sheryl510 Seems to have worked out really well for him
Jackson’s swing is perfect for the flag court at O’s park
I expect him to hit the warehouse.
@@sgrafxHe is gonna have to put some size on like his father to pull that off, I’m looking for him to hit over three hundred with his good eye and the HRs will come, he will only get bigger he doesn’t even have his grown man strength yet.
@@tomdiets5079gunner ain’t big and he hit it….
@@zachhuffaker5656 On a bounce. It was a shot tho.
I'm here for it BUT I expect Jackson to be a 200 hit type guy. Not a 30+ hr and 400+ feet. At least not yet. His size will come
Matt Holliday is a HOF’er
Totally destroyed baseballs, clutch hitter and always a winner.
Has some pretty impressive stats as well. Amazing career
Ugh
@@gregoryfagan2835 “ugh” what ?
No Hof’r , can smash tho.
15 year career with batting average of .299 with 316 homers and over 2000 hits. I’d say for sure Hall of Famer. Not to mention how much of a clutch hitter he was.
@@noelmendez3776his defense wasn’t very good
Being a guy from Saint Louis and just absolutely loving Matt Holiday and my cardinals then moving to Stillwater Oklahoma and being an osu fan and just knowing everything about Matt’s life style and the absolutely gorgeous town off stilly where he lives has really made me think he’s my all time favorite ball player.
As a Cardinals fan seeing Matt Holiday in one off your vids is amazing, he was a beast on the Cardinals.
Now we just need Albert Pujols
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.
I watched Matt during BP in Milwaukee and he was hitting them half way up Bernies slide.. they were majestic.
Can we get a follow-up video for when Matt's second home run lands? Sometime after Xmas I assume.
Lol that thing was absolutely PISSED on
What I needed this Friday night was Matt Holliday with a metal bat hell yeah
Jackson’s a beast!
Can’t wait to see him in the pros.
he is in the pros im assuming you mean big leagues
He’s in the big leaugues
@@hudsonunderriner875he’s not in the bigs just yet, but you can bet he will crack the Orioles roster next season
My bad I was thinking of Gunnar henderson
@@hudsonunderriner875same hair😂. Love the O's had to hang up my A's hat
Gotta give Matt some respect for hitting with some Shattered Backboards
Technically, they’re not. Just sayin.
@@crulove7530wdym they’re literally shattered backboards 3.0
Well they're the worst pair that everyone hated, so that's probably why lol.
Jackson was hitting in some Adidas Forums man it's the same thing
@@SanFranFan30 what are even those
Great genetics. Cant wait to watch Jackson on the big stage with my O's
We might be good for a decade!
@scottmitchell1974 I'd love to see a move or 2 this off-season for a starter and some bullpen pieces but the foundation is set. Let's just hope ownership actually opens their wallet to resign our homegrown talent
@@donnies1902 Yes, and not get caught up chasing Ohtani and his $500 million price.
@@donnies1902Orioles heard you, and got you at least a year of Corbin Burnes. Maybe they’ll actually be able to re-sign him with this new ownership group
So much for that
Love the Holliday family love to see them all hitting tanks
Man, watching former pros hit with metal bats is just... Something else!
David Ortiz has a BP session on UA-cam with a metal bad at Tropicana Field. It's insane. Sound of the ting ringing through the stadium. He launched one onto the catwalk
@@brandonweber1348welp, i know what im watching next!
There’s a reason pros have to use wood. With metal someone would literally die.
Imagine if they allowed metal bats in MLB. The offensive numbers would explode.
@@haywood0457 You'd have to either go back to the dead balls or massively expand the fields and lengthen the distance between bases. Lol
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
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
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
did anybody else notice the absolutely manic backspin that jackson got on those hits
holy back spin
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.
Awesome HR Derby, it’s cool to see the Holliday family’s swings up close and compare them to footage from in-game highlights.
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.
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.
Was that the Reflex? C-core? Extended? That bat had sooooooomuch pop.
@@Jon-de9im The reflex
@@arielvaras4893 remember the reflex had the orange extended barrel, and the C-core version. I had one the Extended.. it’s not fair with Matt swinging that reflex. 3/4 Barrel.
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
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!
Officially my all time favorite vid on this channel! Matt Holiday is a legend. Seeing the next generation was special content.
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!
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.
Matt holliday is 44 years old swinging like he never retired. Respect
Matt was always such a beast and so humble. One of my favorite players of all time.
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
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!!
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!!!⚾️🔥⚾️🔥⚾️🔥⚾️🔥⚾️🔥⚾️
Matt “biceps” Holliday hell yeah! Still got big boy juice
Jackson's swing is so interesting. His right foot doesn't even really touch the ground until he actually plants.
He has quick hands, strong wrists and forearms... adjusts well to everything, makes him a versatile and dangerous hitter.
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.
So freakin sick
It’s awesome seeing Ethan and Jackson being in awe of their dad. So badass
Im happy for Matt Holi and his sons! Living a great life playing the best game ever. Best wishes for the future! Oh yea much love from Baltimore! Keep wait to see ya at the show Jacks! It won't be long!
Nice to see Matt out there still swinging it well…one of my favorite players growing up
Any one else back because Jackson just made his MLB debut?? Matt a real homerun derby champ
Been watching since day one!!! Really awesome to see this Chanel evolve and grow. Congrats will!!!!
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!!!!
As someone who has loved baseball for 42 years since I was 5, these videos are so fun to watch.
Matt is the man. One of my favs growing up. Love the shirt too 🙏👍
Watching one of my favorite Cardinals crushing HRs with his sons. Love it and thank you for putting out this video!
Definitely a top 5 bat bros vid of all time
That was fun to watch. The old man can still swing it.
Hard to imagine a much more awesome video than this. Congratulations on an awesome idea and executing it to perfection! So much fun.
I hope Jackson remains a humble and good guy. The sports needs that as much as it needs his talent.
Work as hard as you can and HoF is within reach.
2009-2011 BESR Voodoo is my personal favorite bat of all time. In high school everyone wanted to use my Voodoo on game day because it was so OP.
The “trampoline” effect the bat gave you when you hit the sweet spot was next to none.
I saw Jackson in person in High A and Double A can’t wait for him to be in the bigs
Jackson Holliday's swing is so impressive. Dude moves through the whole pitch.
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!
This is a CLEAR top 5 Bat Bro Video 💪
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 !!
Holiday is a weapon. Jacksons swing is just beauty.
Ex-big leaguers vs. young blood is excellent content. Any ex-pro athlete makes for great content and challenge. We love it, Rock on BBB's 🤘😎
Jackson's balance in his load is from another world. Never seen someone so controlled and so smooth through the entire load
As an O's fan I am so glad to have him on our team. I can't wait for this season.
So stoked on Jackson as an O’s fan, but Ethan was lookin pretty solid. Also, had the most personality out of all the Hollidays.
4:11 one of the most impressive ball flights I’ve seen in a minute
Matt was LAUNCHING baseballs! This was so cool to watch!
I come back to this often to watch Matt Holliday hit absolute nukes but Jackson just got called up yesterday so this video is even cooler now.
I suggest putting a camera behind the pitcher facing the outfield just so we can get a better glimpse of those absolute BOMBS. Pretty sure Matt's 2nd homer got launched into space
these kids’ swings are beautiful. Nearly every “out” was 100+ velo gapper. Nuts
editing was nice on this video
The O's are so blessed to have this Kid!!!
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.
Matt still hasn't touched home against the Padres! 🤣 🤣 Love um though. This is by far one of your best videos. More of this por favor! 😁
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.
Will, JT, and Eric all have signature wood bat models (made by American Batsmith, JAW Bat, and Victus respectively). A comparison would be nice, though!
@@SluggerMcBatFace yeah I know, I meant actually take a raw piece of lumber And make the bat. Not use the ones that are professionally made by a bat company & sponsor/work with them
@@C-24-Brandan I get it now, thanks for clarifying!
@@SluggerMcBatFace np, I probably over clarified it lol but hard to tell when people are being sarcastic or actually curious about what you comment on here sometimes lol
I remember high school days when I played against Matt then I came an played with him in Stillwater legion his senior year my junior year in highschool. Back when Matt was a third baseman an I played first/RF lefty from Cushing just a hop away. Bat bros I'm the one who long ago said still has the original Easton c-core.
Your best content yet guys, thanks so. much for bringing us this!
Z2k Easton, AirAttack1,2 and 3, Easton Redline, were all HOT, even the Omaha
Jackson’s stance is nice
He has got a unique but beautiful swing
Can't believe Jackson swung something other than wood. I guess it's the off-season so it doesn't matter. I remember when some pros who were former alum came to our practice. They were taking BP with us and we were trying to get them to swing out bats-- they said they would get lit up by their different teams if they did.
Matt Holliday could be an awesome hitting coach for a major league team. he has just produced the two greatest high school hitting prospects ever seen, and its not like Jackson has slowed down in pro ball
Matty, I LOVE the shirt!!! Always my favorite CARD!!!
Matty is still a freakin BEAST!!! Awesome dude. I'm a little biased though....HUGE Cardinals fan!!
I’m big fan of Jackson Holliday!!!
Love this video!!!!! Thank you!!!!!!
Matt Holiday's best season: .340 (lead league), 36 hrs, 216 hits (lead league), 137 rbis (lead league), 50 doubles (lead league), 6 triples and 11 sbs. That's wildly impressive
He never won the triple crown, so he couldn’t have lead the big three at once
Thanks for the upload, guys. Can't wait to see Jackson in an Orioles uni next year!!!
You know it’s a good day when bat bros uploads
Matt has always one of those feared hitters for pitchers. Any moment he could launch one.
So hopefully before spring training Jackson and Adley can compete in a bat bros hr derby. For sure adley’s toughest competitor for the crown of champion
Old man can swing still!!! Geez....CRUSHED!... but the kid got a SWEET SWING!
I know right
Matt Holiday still got it!!! Legend
Matt still got it!
This was awesome. Matt shows you, when you got it, you got it. He was hitting monster shots
It’s gotta be such an amazing feeling playing in the pros then seeing your boy’s potentials.
matt holiday swing is pure gold
When you see hitters of this caliber, always watch the legs!!! They all have extremely great lower half swings!
I cannot wait to see Jackson putting balls into the flag court in Camden Yards. It will also be a lot of fun watching him and Gunnar lock down the left side of the infield. My Orioles have so much young talent, too bad they will never be able to pay them all when it comes time😢.
I wish us fans could do something to get a new owner. Sadly, we don't really have a say...
Loving the shirt the oldest Holliday was wearing. Class Act
Didn't end my career in a good way but makes me wanna pick up a bat again seeing my one of my favorite players. Best seasons I had in the box was with the number 7 on my back
Loved Matty as a Rockies fan growing up
Matt can still play DH in big league now. He's in really good shape.
