The Colorado Rockies' No. 4 overall pick, Ethan Holliday, officially agreed to a $9 million signing bonus on Tuesday, which is an MLB draft record for a high-school player and tied for the fourth-highest bonus ever. The Oklahoma State recruit has perhaps the best power in the draft class and was the top-ranked player on MLB Pipeline. He has a slender 6-foot-4 frame with plenty of projection as he fills out. The ceiling is as high as any hitter in the draft, although his long levers have led to some in-zone swing and miss last summer that caused some concern. But his senior-season statistics were video game-like, posting a 2.046 OPS with 16 home runs in 32 games. He'll look to emulate his brother Jackson's quick ascension through the minor leagues as he enters the Rockies system.--Kyle McCarthyRead More News
