2020 Bowman Draft Baseball Preview, Checklist

December 1, 2020 By Rich Mueller

Only avid fans of MLB prospects will recognize many of the names, but a few years from now, everyone will likely want at least a few of the cards from an annual release known for the game’s better prospects and the current year’s top draft picks.  2020 Bowman Draft Baseball has a release date of December 9.  A checklist is available below.

2020 Bowman Draft Configuration and Base Set

Draft will again be available in two formats:

  • Hobby boxes with 12 packs of 32 cards including 23 base, seven Chrome base, two Chrome base refractor parallels and three autographs.  A case will have eight boxes.
  • Super Jumbo boxes with 5 packs per box, each holding 120 cards including 78 base, 33 Chrome base, eight Chrome base refractor parallels and five autographs.  Cases will have six boxes.

Base Set

The 2020 Bowman Draft base set includes 200 cards featuring top prospects and the top picks in the recent MLB Draft.  This year, parallels will include:

There will be a few new insert sets this year including Glimpses of Greatness, which are found one in every three packs and, according to Topps, focus on “the current achievements of top prospects who are showing superstar potential in facets of their game.”  There will be a few parallels for Glimpses of Greatness including:
