Kade Anderson seems to be the popular choice to be the #1 choice in this years MLB draft. That being said, it is very possible that Ethan Holliday commands that pick. Some think that it is a 70/30 split between who may command that #1 overall spot. The Nationals definitely demand some pitching, but it must also be realized that though pitching is a top team demand, the prospect still will not be seen for a couple years or so.
Ethan Holliday comes from a very renowned family of MLB talent. His father, Matt Holliday, is a Cardinals legend.
