Jackson Holliday's brother Ethan hilariously reacts to their sister Gracyn Ivy vibing with friends on a day out

Baltimore Orioles second baseman Jackson Holliday has a brother, Ethan, and a sister, Gracyn. Both the younger siblings are often seen pulling each other's legs.

On Monday, Gracyn shared pictures from her latest getaway with friends on social media. Julia Blake, Kori Gallegos, Eviee Posito and Ella Vaughan were tagged in the post by Gracyn.

"just really good vibes over here," she wrote in the caption.

The photo captures Gracyn and four friends radiating summer energy outside a rustic building, dressed in casual tanks and denim.

Ethan Holliday, who is projected to be the first pick in the 2025 MLB draft, hilariously reacted:

“Aesthetic I think.”

The siblings were born to Leslee and Matt Holliday, who had a stellar 15‑year MLB career. He earned seven All‑Star nods, four Silver Slugger awards, was 2007 NL batting champ and NLCS MVP, and won a World Series with the St. Louis Cardinals in 2011.

Matt tied the knot with Leslee in Dec. 2000. She holds a seminary degree from Dallas Theological Seminary. Matt has one more son, Reed Holliday, born on July 24, 2013.

Ethan Holliday poised to follow in big brother Jackson Holliday’s footsteps

While Jackson Holliday may not have had a successful rookie season, he has finally come to terms with how to survive in the majors, establishing himself as an All-Star candidate in just his second season. Through 62 games, Holliday is hitting .259 with eight home runs, 27 RBIs and a .731 OPS.

Meanwhile, high school prospect Ethan is consistently ranked #1 overall in the 2025 MLB Draft by MLB.com, Baseball America and Perfect Game. MLB Pipeline and CBS Sports mock drafts project Ethan as the No. 1 pick, potentially going to the Washington Nationals.

If drafted first overall, Ethan would become the second Holliday son to achieve that milestone (Jackson was picked No. 1 in 2022).
