Not nearly as highly valued, but still worth being aware of and collecting, perhaps at a cheaper price point than their 1st Bowman cards.

Ben Kudrna - RHP (Royals, 1st Base only, 43/31) - While the Royals went way underslot with their first-round pick, Frank Mozzicato, they went way overslot with their second-round pick in Ben Kudrna. Eric Cerantola - RHP (Royals, 1st Auto only, 139/166) - The super tantalizing Cerantola has a quiver full of flaming arrows that is anyone's best guess if they will hit the bullseye or completely miss the hay bale, let alone the target on it. As I always say, prospects are the most volatile and highest risk/reward part of the hobby. 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. I am going to slot him towards the top half of Tier 3 given the volatility of this profile. A lefty prep shortstop out of Maryland, he has that classic left-handed swing geared for the lower quadrant of the zone.

If he does that, he easily jumps into Tier 2. The right side of the plate was more promising as he seemed to have a more natural, hit over power swing.

Colton Cowser - OF (Orioles, 1st Base and Auto, 5/12) - The 5th overall pick has a double plus hit tool and plate approach that constantly delivers the barrel to the ball.

If he can figure that out, he gets a lot more interesting as his plus power now becomes dangerous, something we like to see in the hobby. More than likely a table setting second division regular outcome. Definitely a player to watch to see if he can lessen that swing and miss.

Jordan McCants - SS (Marlins, 1st Base and Auto, 88/152) - Marlins 3rd selection out of the Florida prep ranks is a double plus runner and not much else. His command needs a fair amount of work, but he lived all around the edges of the zone even when he was missing which is promising.

You've probably heard the term "five-tool player" used to describe top prospects. 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. There will likely be some in the hobby taking a shot just for that most unlikeliest of outcomes. 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.

He has both outcomes of a backend starter or high leverage bullpen arm basically equally weighted in his future. There are two new parallels exclusive to Bowman Draft this year. He can throw them all for strikes and mixes pitches well. Every week for 4 weeks will feature 21 top prospects! He spent the 2015 season back with Las Vegas, where he pitched to a 7-16 record and 5.53 ERA. Ja'Marr Chase - WR, LSU (2021) Justin Fields - QB, Ohio State (2021) Trevor Lawrence - QB, Clemson (2021) A common misconception about the NFL Draft is that the college and pro games are very similar. Slider is the out pitch. Add in a highly collectible team in the Red Sox and that makes him the top Tier 1 guy for me. Sean Burke - RHP (White Sox, 1st Base and Auto, 94/64) - The tall (6'6") righty out of the University of Maryland has an easy delivery for someone as big as he is. Stats. Mostly wants to get the ball in play and run which can find some success, but isn't going to drive much hobby interest. The only item in that stew that is missing is the power, and there are some hints that it will come. Second base is his likely home, but the Rays are known to be creative and I wouldn't be surprised to see Kinney end up playing a multitude of positions to be able to get his bat regularly into games. Edwin Arroyo - SS (Mariners, 1st Base only, 48/78) - The Mariners 2nd round pick was one of the youngest players in the draft which translates to a lot of raw potential yet to come. His third pitch is a changeup that is reportedly above average, but I wasn't able to find many looks at it. I like this profile a lot for the hobby and I'm going to go with my gut and put him at the bottom half of Tier 2 even though my head tells me he is more of a top of Tier 3 player with the lack of walks and strikeout tendency. While the tools don't grade out plus, he just produces at every single stop. More fluid and better bat speed through the zone from the right side. Tier None with a watch label to see if he can tick up the velocity in-game and get more swing and miss when he starts getting pro innings under his belt. Barely had an opportunity to get pro at-bats before a shoulder injury ended his maiden season. Watch live streaming. Brewers dev org likely gets the most out of him, but at his height, a lot has to continue to go right and that has me sliding him into the top of Tier None instead of the bottom of Tier 3. Mid-90's fastball that he throws often with good IVB numbers and good location. That has me putting him in Tier None, but I wouldn't fault anyone for thinking that he is more of a Tier 3 pitcher giving the physical projection, strikeout gains, and Cleveland secret sauce. A projectable Tier 2 player that has a low floor if he can't translate the tools and the high ceiling of a Tier 1 five-tool player if he does. 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. 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. As an example, imagine if you were a big believer in Mike Trout before he took his first professional at-bat. (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. He'll mix in a low 90s fastball as his main secondary pitch with below-average curveball and a rare changeup. Average to above average skillset with stick in his hands and shows good pitch recognition and approach. A lot of strikeouts in college and in his brief minors exposure this year with both the knuckle curve and fastball. When he did get it put where the catcher wanted it, he did seem to get a fair amount of swing and misses. Merrill had a growth spurt as a prep Senior that led to the increased punch with the bat and drew much more interest, landing him an underslot deal with the Padres at the end of the 1st round. He didn't get a hit, but he actually had the best contact of all of the A's facing Bachman with a sharply hit ground ball to the pull side that he was thrown out on. Given the prospect pedigree and draft capital spent, Mack gets the benefit of the doubt and slots into the middle of Tier 3. The new Lite configurations in 2021 for previous products have had exclusive Black & White Mini Diamond refractors, so this will be the first time we see a RayWave refractor. With a full-time focus on baseball, he has the chance to unlock the coveted five-tool player archetype. This is a high-risk ranking, so buyer beware. Command and control is his game and letting hitters make mistakes rather than having a ton of raw stuff. Big draft riser as he continued to get better every year in college. Chayce McDermott - RHP (Astros, 1st Base only, 132/111) - Astros 4th round pick out of Ball State has the look and feel of a backend starting pitcher. Another in a long line of prep arms in this product that I will be keeping an eye on to see if they can jump up the lists and Tiers, but for now with the risk and rawness inherent to these profiles, he's going to be in Tier None. When I watch video of him, I see a professional baseball player all around. High-end SP 2 pitchers with additional positive factors such as team, arsenal, pedigree, etc. February 2, 2023.

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. He uses a 12-6 curveball as his primary secondary that looks potentially plus. A lot of the strikeouts I saw were of the called strike variety rather than the more desirable swing and miss variety. An average breaker that sometimes shows as a slider and sometimes as a curve with a fringe changeup completes his arsenal. 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. 2021 BOWMAN DRAFT BROOKS GOSSWEIN Chrome Prospect 1st Bowman Refractor
