The Ultimate Guide to 2023 Bowman Baseball: Full Analysis and Rankings

In a surprising twist, Topps decided to release the checklist for 2023 Bowman Baseball early to drive preorder sales. The list is over 100 names with a handful of repeat signatures. Overall the list reminds me more of a Bowman Chrome release. A ton of young international signings were included. These players are very young and have not played a full season yet. There are a handful of players I like and some I will need to revisit once they play more. Hope this helps! Feel free to comment or question. 


Ariel Almonte - Cincinnati Reds OF - High risk because of the strikeouts but good power. Will take time.

Hector Rodríguez - Cincinnati Reds LF - Young player with solid numbers. Not sure if he will hit a ton of homers. 

https://ebay.us/7xSSsy

Cam Collier - Cincinnati Reds 3B - One of my favorite players in the product. 

https://ebay.us/AMW3Z3

Carlos Jorge - Cincinnati Reds 2B - Great power and walk rates. Only 19 so I want to see the swing and miss go down. I like him.

Abel Bastidas - Detroit Tigers SS - Very young and promising prospect.
