The past three years of Bowman Draft have set an extremely high bar with the strength of its checklist. Needs to add in the command and control that most prep arms lack, including Kudrna, and you can project a mid-rotation starter. He racks up a ton of strikeouts with that slider and it is a thing of beauty to watch. 2021 Bowman Draft Baseball - Group Break Checklists The Giants probably saw the plus spin and extension numbers with the fastball ride and see a future starter's arsenal with a lot of development. Stats. But, with the Red Sox bump, I could see some short term value in the future in the mold of Nick Maton where he debuts with a hot 3-4 weeks and his 1st Bowmans base autos go for $50+ instead of the $10 they likely should go for long term. Hunter Goodman - C (Rockies, 1st Base and Auto, 109/66) - Goodman's plus raw power is loud leading to 21 home runs in his final season at Memphis, but he pairs it with an overly aggressive plate approach and a less than ideal swing mechanics. Mid-90s fastball with three secondaries all average to above average in a slider, curveball, and changeup. Another watchlist guy to see if that patience and power materialize to push him out of Tier None. Will regularly throw all three of his secondaries with the slider and curveball being above average to plus offerings. Below is my breakdown of each player that should have a 1st logo in 2021 Bowman Draft given the checklist released by Topps. 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. That potentially becomes a problem with his biggest negative is his lack of power at the moment with bottom tier max velo numbers - not great when power is one of the bigger pre-requisites for first base. 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. 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. A fourth-year senior from Purdue University, but no, not that Purdue, but Division II Purdue University Northwest that put up big numbers in 2021 to the tune of a sub-2 ERA and a 13.6 K/9 in 9 games started. 6'3" and 190 pounds indicates that there is room to add good muscle to his frame and tick his velocity up from low 90s to mid 90s. Good size at 6'3" and 220 pounds, he is one of the older prep players having turned 20 at the end of this past October. Brendan Beck - RHP (Yankees, 1st Base and Auto, 55/157) - Younger brother of Giants farmhand Tristan Beck was passed over in the COVID shortened 2020 draft and came back to Stanford for his senior season to be the staff ace. That translates to a Tier None player with a small percentile outcome to reach Tier 3. 2021 Bowman Draft Baseball Preview and Checklist - Sports Collectors Daily Bowman Draft Picks and Prospects Baseball Sports Trading Cards, 20 Size MLB Posters, 20 Size MLB Banners, 20 Size MLB Signs, 20 Size . 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. What I did see in addition to the fastball and curveball was a pitching motion that almost looked like he was falling towards the first base side mid-arm swing which lead to the pitches all staying arm-side. Strong floor and very high ceiling. A double plus slider with 12-6 break can be thrown for strikes in the zone are down in the zone for easy swing and misses. Peter Heubeck - RHP (Dodgers, 1st Base only, 101/50) - Project and upside arm that lands in an ideal org for it. Features a low to mid 90's fastball and a plus sweeping slider that play up due to his arm angle and height. Slider and changeup would flash but also were part of his command woes. Throws both four-seamer and a cutter that are in the low 90s with an above-average slider and a changeup. He can throw them all for strikes and mixes pitches well. A bottom of Tier 2 guy for me, but it's a bit like Lucy putting the football down again and asking me to kick the ball. But without the all-important strikeout upside that would get the hobby on the bandwagon, he will be at the top half of Tier 3. Coming from the Texas prep ranks, the potential five-tool shortstop should be able to stick at the position. He apparently will throw an inconsistent changeup infrequently as his third pitch, but I never saw it in the video I watched. Super Jumbo Hobby box - guarantees 5 autos and is roughly $600 pre-sale per box. When I watch video of him, I see a professional baseball player all around. It was a small sample at the Complex in 2021, but he did hit well, which was a nice bonus to see. Sam Bachman - RHP (Angels, 1st Base and Auto, 9/18) - Angels 1st round right-hander out of Miami of Ohio popped big time in 2021 pushing all the way up to 9th overall in the draft. An athletic and muscular frame that shines in the exit velocity and xwOBA metrics along with expected Hobby interest gives him consideration for Tier One. Saw quite a few Florida preps swinging and missing at both his fastball as well as the slider. Left hander that is more bat than glove that could also play third base or possibly some outfield in the future, but average power tool likely keeps him more valuable at second base or perhaps center field. 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. Joe Mack - C (Marlins, 1st Base and Auto, 31/28) - The 2nd prep catcher off the board is expected to be able to stick behind the dish given his prowess in the crouch. 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. Strong plate approach but average hit tool and maybe a chip in steal here or there sums up the rest of the offensive package. That said, Watson has swing-and-miss concerns (42 K% in Low-A) and slipped in the draft due to make-up and signability concerns. A lot of the strikeouts I saw were of the called strike variety rather than the more desirable swing and miss variety. He is more of an above-average hit tool with average pop and good plate skills. 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. Also has a slider which I didn't see. 2021 Bowman Draft BROOKS GOSSWEIN Chrome Prospect 1st Bowman Refractor #21 $12.99 Buy It Now or Best Offer , FREE Shipping , 30-Day Returns, eBay Money Back Guarantee Options include the normal 24-pack boxes and new 50-pack boxes.

Prices are updated daily based upon 2021 Bowman listings that sold on eBay and our marketplace. FOR SALE! The Padres are giving him an opportunity to start for now, but he's a tough at bat for lefties and I would speculate that he eventually gets moved to the bullpen to come in against a tough left-handed portion of a lineup. A high floor for the smaller statured pitcher, but not a high ceiling either. The next concern is that he doesn't stick behind the plate given his less than stellar showing there, putting more pressure on the bat to perform at either 1B or corner OF. The fastball often ends up on the glove side of the plate, given an appearance of some left to right movement on the fastball for the hitter. 2019 Bowman Draft Chrome ADLEY RUTSCHMAN 1st RC Prospect PSA 10 GEM MINT KF1; 2019 Bowman Draft Chrome ADLEY RUTSCHMAN 1st RC Prospect PSA 10 GEM MINT KF1 Sold by sports.connection | Ends on 2023-03-07 02:20:43 . 2021 Bowman Draft Marcelo Mayer 1st Prospect #BD-174 Red Sox PSA 10 GEM Plenty of pitchers, catchers, role players, hit tool only bats, defense-first players, etc. Had some command issues and got touched up a bit on the circuit, but righted the ship in the spring and got a ton of strikeouts. Aaron Zavala - OF (Rangers, 1st Base and Auto, 38/93) - The Pac-12 Player of the Year has a whole lot going for him and I like it. Watching some video and he was regularly missing location. Without it, he has significant reliever risk. For example, if I had done Tiers for 2020 Bowman Draft, I would have had double the amount of players in Tier 1. In addition, the Giants dev org, especially with pitching, has taken a Giant leap forward (see what I did there?) He was able to put the bat on the ball a lot, but he ended up not really putting up good numbers in his 35 games at Low A this year. Although Davis' numbers may not be mind blowing, he's only played in 167 games in his entire MiLB career. Like Rutschman, Torkelson was also a number 1 draft pick. These include autographed cards for guys like Julio Rodriguez, Spencer Torkelson, Marco Luciano, Jasson Dominguez, Luis Rodriguez, Blaze Jordan, and Yoelqui Cespedes. The biggest drawback is that he may not get to more than 15-ish home runs. Brady House - SS (Nationals, 1st Base only, 11/6) - One of the more well-known names in this draft class as he's been on the radar and considered as a 1st rounder for quite a while. Set Links - Overview - Checklist - Teams - Errors / Variations - Hall of Famers . When there are more than three or four guys to chase in a product, collectors tend to be relatively happy. There is a lot of hand movement going on pre-swing and through the swing motion that I would like to see cleaned up. The only one I got a good look at was the curveball, which had really nice 12-6 break to it. 2021 Bowman marks the official opening of prospect season. Add in a highly collectible team in the Red Sox and that makes him the top Tier 1 guy for me. This is a Tier None profile that could jump into Tier Three depending on how his development trends. 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 throws a high spin rate fastball in the mid-90s with a top shelf plus curveball that gets whiffs aplenty. Both pitches are double plus killers when they are on. His third pitch is a changeup that is reportedly above average, but I wasn't able to find many looks at it. The left-hander is a fit in either role as his pitches tunnel well, he fills up the zones and he gets strikeouts while limiting walks. How 2021 Bowman's Best Has Impacted Rookie Cards for Several Years Fills up the zone and relies on weak contact and plus command with his four-pitch mix. He has all the tools to stick at shortstop which gives him a nice floor. 2021 Top 600 2022 Top 600 Prospect Lists. Inconsistent all around on the mound with a bunch of potential plus pitches led by the fastball and curveball but lots of unknowns due to not being focused on pitching and baseball in general. 1948 Bowman 1949 Bowman 1950 Bowman 1951 Bowman Slider with decent bite is the third pitch in the arsenal that I saw get a fair amount of swing and misses on the 2020 circuit. 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. With more info and video, I might consider a plus power bat as a standout tool and in consideration for Tier 3, but the expected DH penalty and the overall profile seems like a Tier None guy to me until I see more. 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. The product isnt terrible and there are plenty of players I like and would love to own their cards. The slider is best when it is more of a 12-6 with glove side bite as it seems to tunnel better, but it can get sweepy as well. Still no reason to put him anywhere else but Tier None. Austin Love - RHP (Cardinals, 1st Base and Auto, 90/168) - The Friday night starter for the Tar Heels in 2021 was drafted in the third round by the Cardinals and will likely be given a shot to continue to start before he most likely gets pushed to the bullpen. Zane Mills - RHP (Cardinals, 1st Auto only, 120/286) - Mills is a back-end starter profile that doesn't have any real plus pitches but has plus command. At 6'7", there is some general concern about tall pitchers, but at the moment Painter doesn't seem to exhibit many of those issues. Low to mid 90s fastball that reportedly has started to top out in the upper 90s with a changeup, slider, and curveball that he throws with varying degrees of success for his secondaries. If they can, he suddenly becomes much more interesting. His fastball and slider combo is simply filthy. The main difference will be with the inserts and exclusive parallels. 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. He is also a two way player but likely ends up on the bump rather than on the dirt in the long term. That puts me in a conundrum of whether to bump CES up to Tier 2 based on performance or Tier 3 based on tools. His best secondary is a slider, which is where he does get the swing and miss and it plays well off of his steady diet of upper quadrant fastballs. Love his approach and plate skills as he works counts, fouls balls off, and takes the walk. 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. Big time deceptive delivery from the left side with a big arm swing. Jaden Hill - RHP (Rockies, 1st Base and Auto, 68/101) - If Jaden Hill was injury free, he would almost certainly be a Tier 2 arm.

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. With the inherent risk of prep righty profiles, he goes into the bucket of similar profiles in Tier None with a firm "watch list" designation. Russell Smith - LHP (Brewers, 1st Base and Auto, 51/170) - The tallest player in the product at 6'9", the left-hander out of TCU can have dominant outings with how he gets down the mound and fills up the zone. The 6'3" lefty out of the University of Nebraska fills up the zone which sometimes is beneficial as it keeps the walks down, but sometimes it bites him as his mostly average stuff can get touched up. Couple that with a first-round draft pedigree, and he gets the bump into Tier 2. 2022 Bowman Draft Baseball Complete Paper Prospect Team Set - Texas Rangers 195625717041 Not surprising given his inexperience, but command and control were only average. Another righty prep arm that makes sense to start in Tier None until further notice. Jordan Viars - OF (Phillies, 1st Base and Auto, 84/600) - The Texas prep lefty bat has a man's body at a young age and a pretty swing to go with it. Backend starter potential with perhaps some more when added mass leads to increased fastball velocity. Slotting him into the top half of Tier 3; if he does take that next step in his development, he becomes an easy player to jump into Tier 2 with that god-mode fastball. Top prospect Mayer draws parallels to former Red Sox star. Tier 3 - May have some hobby interest due to a single factor such as prospect pedigree, team interest, general hobby hype, an interesting carrying tool, etc. That may be a tall task with the current state of Rockies player development, but fingers crossed it happens. The Definitive Guide to First Bowman Cards When it comes to the most sought after cards for today's baseball stars, not much beats the Topps Flagship rookie card. Was a shortstop (and a decent pitcher as well) in the prep ranks, but likely ends up at 2B in the pros given his height (5'9"). Great for a later fantasy baseball pick and a nice real-life baseball roster piece. If he does that, he easily jumps into Tier 2. Releases include 2022 Topps Allen & Ginter Chrome, 2022 Bowman Heritage, and 2022 Bowman Inception. A back-end starter with a history of arm injuries is an easy Tier None decision until we see his return to the mound. Both pitches get a ton of swing and misses, but the fastball, even with its plus velocity may need more movement/approach tuning to get it to its plus potential. The athletic Pennsylvania prep outfielder has a plethora of plus tools in power, fielding, and arm while he has double-plus speed. An underslot sign in round 1, him and Tommy Mace get off the Cleveland bus together and you imagine it's the Cavaliers and not the Guardians. Chad Patrick - RHP (Diamondbacks, 1st Base only, 107, NR) - I'm going to be honest here - I knew nothing about Chad Patrick before the draft, and at this point, I haven't been able to fill that gap with much. (1:6 Hobby Packs) New Applied Pressure - Highlighting later round talent that has worked their way into the Top 100 with a cutting edge stylized diamond stone design. Daylen Lile - OF (Nationals, 1st Base only, 47/29) - The ability to field all outfield spots in a pinch, but mostly profiles as a left fielder with underwhelming arm strength. Decent approach, decent hit tool, could show some power, but nothing really to get excited about.
