Keep An Eye On Hao Yu Lee (Philadelphia Phillies, 2B)

As I was looking at some numbers this weekend searching for hidden gems, I discovered a prospect that is having a great season but does not have a Bowman auto. Hao Yu Lee is having an impressive season so far. As of today, his walk rate is over 12% his strikeout rate is under 20%. He is also hitting for power with seven home runs. Its highly possible you may see him in Bowman Chrome. Keep an eye on Hao. He can really hit and is only 19.

Tyler Soderstrom Is A Future Top Prospect (Oakland Athletics, C/1B)

Tyler Soderstom is another prospect on my radar. The bat is special and its highly likely that he will be moved from catcher due to the plus bat. This is a great thing if it occurs as playing catcher day to day really impacts a player's overall offensive production. I expect a big season from Tyler and hopefully the injury bug stays away from him while he's behind home plate.

2022 Bowman Baseball - Pricing Trends Update

2022 Bowman Baseball has been out a few weeks and I have to admit the price trends are interesting. It seems some prices have dropped. You still have some high priced cards out there but overall there are some good prices out on the market. Maybe this is a correction but time will only tell. There is a ton of value out there. Just as a reminder I looked at EBay sales that were auction only and the base chrome auto only. 


Aeverson Arteaga - San Francisco Giants SS - Around $70. Fair. 

Anthony Rodriguez - San Francisco Giants 3B - Between $9-$20. Great price.


Elly De LA Cruz - Cincinnati Reds SS - Over $200 for most sales. To risky of a prospect to pay those prices.

Matt McLain - Cincinnati Reds SS - Over $200 for most sales. High draft picks always get a bump.


Denzer Guzman - Los Angeles Angels SS - Around $30. A little high for a project but that is the market now. 


Roismar Quintana - Washington Nationals OF - Around $20 


Jonatan Clase - Seattle Mariners OF - Between $20-$30


Alejandro Pie - Tampa Bay Rays 3B/SS - Under $10. Bargain.

Curtis Mead - Tampa Bay Rays 3B - Between $75-$100. Fair. He has a lot of buzz.


Bryan Acuña - Minnesota Twins OF - Around $100. Short print? 


Dustin Harris - Texas Rangers 1B - Between $50-$75. I could see this price going higher if he keeps up the good performance.

Zion Bannister - Texas Rangers OF -  Between $5-$15. 


Kahlil Watson - Miami Marlins SS - Around $300. Way too high for me but I get it. 


Oswaldo Cabrera - New York Yankees Utility - Around $30. 

Trey Sweeney - New York Yankees SS - Around $75. Yankees bump? Maybe. He's a good talent.


Jhonkensy Noel - Cleveland Guardians 1B/3B - Around $40. I honestly thought this would be more.

George Valera - Cleveland Guardians OF - All over the place. Low as $75. High as $125. Would you rather buy two Noel's instead?


Brayan Bello - Boston Red Sox P - Around $50. For a pitcher, that is way too high.

Eduardo Vaughan - Boston Red Sox OF - Between $5-$15.


Lenyn Sosa - Chicago White Sox SS - Around $60. I would wait to see more. 

Colson Montgomery - Chicago White Sox SS - Low as $100 and high as $150. First round draft pick bump. Reports have been positive so far.


Luis Gonzalez - Baltimore Orioles OF - Selling for around $10.


Warming Bernabel - Colorado Rockies 3B - Around $65. Fair. I just wish he was not a Rockie.


Gavin Conticello - Arizona Diamondbacks 3B - Around $10.


Joshua Baez - St. Louis Cardinals OF - Around $50. I was expecting a lower price but I am not surprised.


James Triantos - Chicago Cubs 2B - Around $150. Tons of redemptions out there. Highly possible he may be short printed. Cub prospects get a price bump too. Be careful.


Jose Ramos - Los Angeles Dodgers OF - Around $45. 

Eddys Leonard - Los Angeles Dodgers SS - Around $45.


James Wood - San Diego Padres OF - Around $150. A ton of buzz here but way too high for me.


Max Muncy - Oakland Athletics SS - Around $100. Some sales were inflated via shill bidding so I did not included those. Not surprised by the price but I need to see improvement with his strikeouts.

Roberto Campos - Detroit Tigers OF - Around $60.
