2023 Fantasy Outlook
Holliday helped himself more than any prospect in the 2022 draft class in the year leading up to the draft. The son of 14-year MLB vet Matt Holliday trained with the likes of his father and Nolan Arenado to add muscle and power, and he now projects as a lefty-hitting five-tool shortstop. Baltimore was drawn to everything about Holliday's game, with his handedness and ability to stick at shortstop possibly being the tiebreaker over Druw Jones at 1-1. The 6-foot-1, 180-pound 18-year-old already shows over-the-fence power to all fields, and at his best, he is driving the ball to the opposite-field gap. Holliday is a plus runner who is just starting to tap into his potential, and his lineage is an added bonus. His pro debut was a huge success in a small sample. Holliday slashed .297/.489/.422 with one home run, five doubles, four steals and a 12:25 K:BB in 20 games across the Florida Complex League and Single-A. That advanced approach should serve him well in his first full season, and the potential superstar could move very quickly up the ladder. Read Past Outlooks

June 1, 2023
Holliday is slashing .359/.488/.612 with four home runs, nine steals, a 20.2 percent strikeout rate and a 19.4 percent walk rate in 29 games for High-A Aberdeen.
ANALYSIS
Holliday wasted no time this season throwing his hat into the ring for best prospect in baseball, as he has now dominated Single-A (230 wRC+) and High-A (195 wRC+) and won't turn 20 until December. The most notable skill development for Holliday relative to preseason scouting reports is that he has been clocked as a plus-plus runner this year. He has stolen 12 bases on 17 attempts in 43 games and projects as a five-category superstar in the majors.
