With more comfort throwing his changeup regularly and improved command and control, Petty could step up into the SP1 conversation. Mason Black - RHP (Giants, 1st Base and Auto, 85/90) - Right-hander out of mid-major school Lehigh taken by the Giants in the third round to continue their pitching-focused draft. Prospect Highlights. Ended up going in the 4th round to the White Sox on an underslot deal after an up and down final college season including a month of downtime mid-season. 2021 Bowman - Prospects. More often than not, the curveball and slider were either hit hard or taken for a strike middle-middle because the hitters were so geared towards the fastball. Other than building innings, there isn't much more he can do unless the Yankees can squeeze some more fastball velocity out of his arm. At this point it seems all but certain 2022 will be his rookie season. Defensive ability to stick at shortstop although it wouldn't be a surprise if he ends up at third base at some point in his career. A full starter's arsenal with a plus mid-90s fastball and good spin numbers all around. 2021 Bowman Baseball Hobby Box $ 149.95 Add to Cart Sign-up to earn rewards with this purchase! Granted that is a small percentile outcome which is why I will have Carson in my Tier Two for now, but he's near the top of my list of guys I want to see more of. This is a classic Tier None profile with very little to interest the hobby. The deck is stacked against hit-only corner players, but given the strength of Manzardo's hit tool and the associated plate skills, I am going to slot him into the bottom half of Tier 3 and cross my fingers his power continues to trend in the right direction.

Those orgs would mold that clay as if he was Demi Moore and they were Patrick Swayze. Very athletic at 6'2" 190 with room to fill out. Couple that with a first-round draft pedigree, and he gets the bump into Tier 2. Plus speed and an above-average hit tool at the moment. A high-risk Tier 1 player for me given the missing ingredient, but that power speed archetype that Montgomery possesses in spades can be hobby gold. 2021 Bowman Draft Baseball Set comes in Paper and Chrome versions with multiple parallels for each and features the top picks and prospects all collectors will be hunting! For those who havent, check out my blurb on it in my 2021 Bowman Baseball preview here. This is purely a prospect product. Calvin Ziegler - RHP (Mets, 1st Base and Auto, 46/180) - Mets 2nd round righty prep arm originally from Canada but pitched in the Florida prep ranks before the draft. For the moment, he is a Tier None player until his hit and/or power tools start to carry him further - I might be the low man on Wilson, but ideally I would like to see him turning his raw power into more frequent game power. More fluid and better bat speed through the zone from the right side. Carson Williams - SS (Rays, 1st Base and Auto, 28/47) - A helium prep shortstop out of the San Diego area that was more seen as a pitching prospect until his bat started to come around in his Senior season. An easy Tier 2 call for me given the power potential, but the hit tool will drive whether he should have been a Tier 1 call or not. He has a low to mid 90's fastball and reportedly can reach back for more and pairs that with average-ish sliders and changeups. An easy Tier None slotting for the Blue Jays 4th rounder. You've probably heard the term "five-tool player" used to describe top prospects. He leads with an eye-popping fastball in the upper 90's that can touch triple digits that lives mostly in the middle to upper half of the zone and has some arm side tail.

Total Cards: 150 Rating: 8.0 (2 votes) Click here to Rate He was a more than competent shortstop in college, but for now, that isn't in the cards. It was only 11 games, but it wasn't a great look and I will focus on him as a pitcher rather than a hitter or two-way player. Will the real Alex Binelas please stand up? And yet, he's managed to work himself all the way to Triple-A. Tier None guy with the potential for Tier 3 if the Giants can get him right. But without an elite hobby skill, he is on that threshold of Tier None/Tier 3. Low 90's fastball with arm-side run that leads to uncomfortable at bats for left-handers. Still some question marks if he can turn the prep offensive skills into pro ones, but definitely has the all around talent to make it to the show. If he does, then he becomes a potential high leverage arm. The fastball appears above average with the horizontal arm side run to it. Throw in the round 1 draft pedigree and the Cleveland secret sauce, I am going to slide him into the bottom half of Tier 2. Plus max velo numbers at the Complex level and a top 10 player in our hitting RoboScout for the Complex level. Perhaps capitalizing on that, the Brewers traded him, David Hamilton, and Jackie Bradley Jr. to the Red Sox for Hunter Renfroe (Binelas is in a Brewers uniform/listed as on the Brewers in the product).

Struggled against elite competition. This pick was likely all about projection as Hajjar showed up to the MLB Draft Combine with a 97 mph heater in the bag. Mid-90s fastball with three secondaries all average to above average in a slider, curveball, and changeup. He also has a developing changeup that has been tagged as above average at the moment but with potential for more. I really liked seeing him take quite a few pitches that would normally lock up a lefty high and tight and hitting them solidly to right field by easily keeping his arms close to the body with quick hands. Without the power behind that profile, he's easily in Tier None until further development. Literally making the hitters look foolish. . Peter Heubeck - RHP (Dodgers, 1st Base only, 101/50) - Project and upside arm that lands in an ideal org for it. Jackson Jobe - RHP (Tigers, 1st Base and Auto, 3/5) - The best prep pitcher in the draft and likely in the product given that Jack Leiter has been held out for 2022 Bowman. With full run, he could hit for a good average, get 20 home runs, and steal 20 bases. T.J. White - 1B/OF (Nationals, 1st Base and Auto, 143/399) - The South Carolina prep outfielder has a nice athletic frame with a muscular lower half that generates plus power but plenty of swing and miss. The Cleveland pitching machine does give me pause and make me consider putting him up to Tier 3, but ultimately it feels like a floor of a backend starter with not much more of a ceiling than that. Didn't see him throw the changeup much, but that is what will determine if he is just an up and down starter or simply org depth as a backend starter. Given his frame, I would be surprised if he sticks at first base - he has DH written all over him and the Dan Vogelbach/Rowdy Tellez comps are likely going to be a regular occurrence. Does 2021 Bowman Draft live up to those expectations? In 22 games at the Complex so far, he put together average contact and max velo numbers, but had double plus walk and chase percentages leading to a top 15 ranking in our Data Driven Top 500 along with a top ranking for Complex Level RoboScout ranking. March 2, 2023. . This will include autos from the Black and White RayWave subset, a 1/1 offering. The biggest issue for the left-handed backstop was that his home run pop disappeared. Mostly average tools on the offensive side of the equation. Tanner Allen - OF (Marlins, 1st Base and Auto, 118/119) - 5th year Senior out of Mississippi State that was an underslot sign to help support the Khalil Watson pick. He racks up a ton of strikeouts with that slider and it is a thing of beauty to watch. He'll also throw a changeup occasionally. Another player that is going to be more valued in real baseball and fantasy baseball than in the hobby. . All in all, a defense-first Tier None player that will need to take big strides with the bat in his hand to move up the Tiers. Luke Murphy - RHP (Angels, 1st Base and Auto, 110/NR) - Angels 4th round reliever out of Vanderbilt tore his UCL before getting to campus in the summer of 2018 and then got only a partial season when he came back in 2020 due to the pandemic. Eric Silva - RHP (Giants, 1st Base only, 115/162) - Giants took the Kyle Harrison approach again with taking a prep arm and paying him overslot money - in Silva's case, a million dollars over slot. As it stands now, he doesn't have the profile to be more than a second-division regular. He'll mix in a low 90s fastball as his main secondary pitch with below-average curveball and a rare changeup. He can throw them all for strikes and mixes pitches well. I saw him regularly missing this pitch to his arm-side. An advanced arm that likely doesn't need a ton of changes to get up to the majors and be a competent innings eater mid-rotation/backend starter. While he spins the fastball, it's not as effective as one would think, and his tall, lanky frame (6'5") has mechanical/delivery concerns. Low 90's fastball needs to add some velocity and a lot of command, but has some nice arm-side horizontal break. He's a top Tier 3 guy that I am going to watch closely to see if he can develop the hit tool to match the power and vault into Tier 2. No plus pitches, but throws four average to above average pitches that all work well with each other. 32 cards per pack. Super Jumbo Hobby box - guarantees 5 autos and is roughly $600 pre-sale per box. Has the skill set to stick behind the plate, but given his athletic profile, it is regularly speculated that he ends up somewhere else on the field by the time he gets to the big league. The lefty has a mid-90s fastball that he mostly throws to the arm-side of the plate and struggles to get it to the glove side, making it tough to keep right-handers from crowding the plate. However, as prospecting continues to grow in popularity, a player's "1st Bowman" card has almost come to rival the rookie card in collector's wish lists. Should be able to stick at the position given that arm strength along with good athleticism and size. I have not seen prices posted anywhere for this, but it is probably between the Lite and Jumbo cost - perhaps in the $200 range if I had to guess. Unfortunately one of those Tier 1 players, Brady House, doesnt have any autographed cards, severely limiting the chase for his cards. His hit tool is the most advanced of everything at the moment with very good exit velocity and strong control of the zone with great walk rates. Vintage cards of all-time greats like Honus Wagner and Mickey Mantle have sold for some of the highest prices in hobby history while more recent stars like Ken Griffey Jr. and . Good plate skills as well and have seen him willing to put the ball into the opposite field on occasion. Dominic Hamel - RHP (Mets, 1st Base and Auto, 81/193) - Mets 3rd round right-hander out of Dallas Baptist has the analytical data on his pitches to backup being a potential mid-rotation starter. For now, without the exit velocity to support pro-level power, he's going to start towards the top of Tier None for me. In a small sample size minor league season spent mostly at Low A, Binelas absolutely raked. Does 2021 Bowman Draft live up to those expectations? Currently playing center field, scouts also think he could move to second base as well, which will increase his positional versatility. Fastball is mid-90's topping out at 98 with some noticeable run on occasion. Connor Norby - 2B (Orioles, 1st Base and Auto, 41/43) - The Orioles second-round pick is your classic second base prototype player. I can squint and see it as well, but I am taking the easy way out and putting him in Tier None as a high-risk prep right-hander that needs to get an effective third pitch before climbing up the Tier rankings. Outside of the 1st Bowman prospects above, you will also get plenty of base and autos from non-1st Bowman prospects. The changeup plays well off of it and a tight slider can be effective at times. In general Topps and Bowman inserts are not great, and for the most part, this axiom holds true in this release as well. Click on a Card detail page to see historic prices and values for all different grades. 2021 Bowman Draft Baseball Jumbo Box Configuration: 12 packs per box. Without the general catcher penalty, Davis would likely end up in Tier 1, especially going at 1 overall in the draft. Due to the general lack of information/video and what is likely a raw prep RHP, I am putting him in Tier None and making a note to check him out further in 2022. Won't run much, but probably gets a few chip-in steals. Plenty of pitchers, catchers, role players, hit tool only bats, defense-first players, etc. More Prospects News. High-floor low ceiling backend starting pitchers are an easy slot into Tier None which is where I have Marceaux. However, if they live up to-or exceed their expectations-investors can cash in. This keeps Del Castillo in the top half of Tier 3. Without that, he's a mid-rotation guy as the most likely outcome. He did improve on his strikeouts in 2021, but I see that more as plus control taking advantage of college bats. Catchers do make it difficult to push into Tier 1 though, and Adley is the only one in recent memory that probably deserved that Tier ranking. A floor of high leverage relief to a ceiling of a two double plus pitches SP2/SP3 is enticing to slide into the bottom of Tier 2, but I will try and contain my exuberance for what I saw and put him at the top half of Tier 3. . 2021 Bowman Draft Baseball storms back for another monster offering featuring a fresh crop of Baseball draft picks and emerging prospects! Tier 1 - Cream of the crop. Slider flashes as a swing and miss pitch in the mid-80s. Lots of raw stuff with big spin to get excited about lead by a mid-90's fastball and a swing and miss slider when he has it working. Davis may not stick behind the plate because he's not an ideal receiver, even with a double-plus howitzer for an arm. Spencer Torkelson Prospect Cards ( View eBay Listings) Last on our Best Baseball Cards To collect 2022 list is Spencer Torkelson. I wouldnt be surprised if theyre more desirable than the wave refractors in the short and long term. This pushes me into putting him into the bottom of Tier 3 rather than Tier None where I would stick most prep arms. When it's on, the curveball is a nice 11-5 swing and miss pitch that tunnels well with his fastball. At the moment he may not have a profile as an everyday regular in some people's eyes, but I can easily see it. A top half of Tier None guy but with the Dodger development magic, I wouldn't be surprised if he belongs in Tier 3 as soon as next year. He also throws a curveball and a changeup, but right now both pitches are average at best and more used as a change of pace. I've seen some higher on Kudrna than Mozzicato and I wouldn't argue too much against it, but I'd rather bet on the lefty over the righty. There are two new parallels exclusive to Bowman Draft this year. Find many great new & used options and get the best deals for (20) 2021 BOWMAN DRAFT JORDAN LAWLAR (LAWLER) RCS-#11 MLB PROSPECT/MT/AA @ 20 at the best online prices at eBay! Mid-rotation starter ceiling, but definite bullpen risk with his older prep arm that was command challenged. Finally, real life baseball value, fantasy baseball value, and hobby value arent always the same. His fastball is often in the upper half of the zone, which is great for setting up his off-speed, but it lacks top end velocity and deception, which can lead to the pitch being hittable. Kyle Manzardo - 1B (Rays, 1st Base and Auto, 63/97) - Plus hitter lacking enough in-game power limited to a position that really values it with first base. Add in a highly collectible team in the Red Sox and that makes him the top Tier 1 guy for me. 2021 Bowman Chrome Draft Brendan Beck 1st Sky Blue Refractor Prospect #BDC-118 | Sports Mem, Cards & Fan Shop, Sports Trading Cards, Trading Card Singles | eBay! He started showing significant raw power in 2021 and put up a Division I leading 23 home runs. He could use some more velocity and his fastball and that would hopefully drive up the strikeout potential. It looked decent and he threw a lot of strikes, but I didn't see anything special that would push him out of the Tier None conversation for now. With power being the most coveted hobby tool, I am going to push Holgate into the bottom half of Tier 2 even with his hit deficiencies. On the plus side, Mozzicato has one of the best curveballs in the draft with an easy delivery and an athletic projectability. Swing and miss stuff across the repertoire as he racked up 136 strikeouts in just over 91 innings in his final year of college ball. No standout tools and already older than his counterparts, he probably ends up as a strong side platoon or 4th outfielder type role. Fastball lives in the low 90's with the slider in the mid-80's as his best secondary. On the other hand, the Angels need starting pitching in the worst way (spending every draft pick on a pitcher is certainly a mood) and I imagine they will give him every opportunity to see if he can stick in the rotation. He'll be a Tier None player for me until we see which way his development path trends towards. Hopefully, Painter doesn't snatch the ball away from me at the last moment and make me regret putting him up this high. Configuration 21 cards per pack 1 sticker autograph card (unnumbered, # to 10, # to 5, # to 1) Specs Download Checklist (34.74 kB) On the negative side, he may eventually move over to 3B but I think this is a lower outcome than other players given that same tag.

Estimated Release Date: December 29, 2021 Hobby Jumbo Configuration: 32 cards per pack, 12 packs per box, 8 boxes per case Cal Conley - 2B/SS (Braves, 1st Base only, 126/105) - The Braves 4th round pick out of Texas Tech has that middle infielder utility player look to him. Mitch Bratt - LHP (Rangers, 1st Auto only, 134/287) - Prep left-hander originally from Canada but was pitching in the Georgia prep ranks. This label is reserved for the cream of the crop. Currently, it looks like his personal approach is that during the Sabbath (sundown Friday to sundown Saturday), he will pitch, but has to be able to walk to the ballpark. I remember catching some of those early game highlights and seeing either a lot of out of the zone misses or getting hit hard when in the zone. He did go from a beanpole appearance to a solid 6'5" 200-ish frame in that time, so he put that to good use. New Price eBay. But given his size - 6'4" 225 pounds as a teenager - he should have enough natural power to not need to sell out for it as he matures. Baseball Card Price Guide. Shane Panzini - RHP (Royals, 1st Base and Auto, 108/113) - Along with the Royals second and third-round picks, Shane Panzini was another overslot signer, this time in the fourth round with the Royals spreading around that seventh overall pick money around. Some people think so given his exit velocity numbers, but a more lofted swing path is likely needed and that may not be worth a potential ding to his high-end hit tool. Ian Moller - C (Rangers, 1st Base only, 103/118) - Prep catchers are often a dart throw, especially regarding if they can stick behind the plate or not. Bowman started the 2014 season with the Binghamton Mets and was promoted to the Las Vegas 51s in July; in 24 games (23 starts) between the two teams, he was 10-8 with a 3.21 ERA. There will likely be some in the hobby taking a shot just for that most unlikeliest of outcomes. Not a ton of in-game power at the moment for the lefty prep out of Tennessee, but he can take it deep with authority in BP. The biggest drawback is that he may not get to more than 15-ish home runs. He doesn't look to be swinging with any sort of authority with a swing more line drive-oriented than power producing. The Invicta insert is another new one that tries to portray a high-end, classy feel, but looks boring and is a miss for me. Putting him at the top of Tier 3 and keeping a close eye on how his power develops; if it comes, he's an easy Tier 2 player. Love his approach and plate skills as he works counts, fouls balls off, and takes the walk. Saw quite a few Florida preps swinging and missing at both his fastball as well as the slider.
