Most all have appeared on a baseball card before thanks to the extensive network of products focused on prospects and draft picks, but they don’t get an official rookie card until they’ve spent some time in the major leagues. More than 40 will get them inside 2018 Topps Series 1 baseball, due to arrive at the end of this month.
Among those to look for: Rhys Hoskins, who made a splashy debut with the Philadelphia Phillies last season; Washington Nationals outfielder Victor Robles who is rated the third best prospect in the game by MLBPipeline.com; Yankees outfielder Clint Frazier and Red Sox third baseman Rafael Devers.
