Hello Readers. First I just want to thank everyone who comes to the site to read my opinions. I hope what I am providing helps. I would have to say that now that cards are hot again the checklist for Bowman products has never been bigger. Not a compliant as more prospects is better for everyone. I organized these by team and picked some teams and singles that I do like this year .
I look forward to your questions and feel free to disagree on my assessments. Links to Ebay have also been provided. One last thing to note is that with Bowman Chrome the product is made to feature most of the recent international signings. Due to this, a ton of the players are very young and still have to mature. So its hard to really say if a buy or pass applies. Some of these prospects did play some rookie ball but those stats are tricky as the competition is not strong.

Dodgers
Rangers
Red Sox
Rockies
Cardinals
Nationals
Padres
Brewers
Alex De Jesus - Los Angeles Dodgers 3B/SS - Now on the Blue Jays and there is some ability here. The SO% needs to come down asap.
Gavin Stone - Los Angeles Dodgers P - Pass.
Rayne Doncon - Los Angeles Dodgers - 2B/SS - I like what I see here. Look at the power numbers.
Samuel Munoz - Los Angeles Dodgers OF - Very young but a player like this in the Dodgers system is not fair.
Jorbit Vivas - Los Angeles Dodgers - 2B/3B - Seems like a on base type of guy but has a little pop.
Anthony Gutierrez - Texas Rangers OF - Only 17 but and its early but I like what I have seen so far.
Yeison Morrobel - Texas Rangers OF - Another young player with great numbers.
Cameron Cauley - Texas Rangers 2B/SS - Not enough pop for me. More of a watch candidate.
Danyer Cueva - Texas Rangers SS - Very young but I need to see more.
Jose Rodriguez - Texas Rangers C - Pass.
JoJo Blackmon - Texas Rangers OF - Man he's so young you have to wait to see if the strikeouts go down.
Parker Chavers - Chicago Cubs OF - Pass. Too old.
BJ Murray Jr. - Chicago Cubs 1B/3B - Decent player but its a pass for me.
Christian Franklin - Chicago Cubs OF - Pass. Did not play last year.
Nelson Velazquez - Chicago Cubs OF - Pass.
Alexis Hernandez - Chicago Cubs SS - 17 years old. Way too young to tell yet.
Liam Spence - Chicago Cubs 1B/SS - Pass.
Alexander Ovalles - Tampa Bay Rays 1B/OF - Pass.
Willy Vasquez - Tampa Bay Rays 3B/SS - Very nice player. Good power numbers. Strikeouts could be better but its a respectable number.
Dru Baker - Tampa Bay Rays OF - Similar to above.
Mason Auer - Tampa Bay Rays OF - Similar to above. Rays seem to be on to something.
Estanli Castillo - Tampa Bay Rays OF - 21 with not a ton of at bats. More of a watch. If he was a little older I would pass.
Jackson Chourio - Milwaukee Brewers OF - The hottest player in the product. Here is the worry for me. Most of the money that will be made on his cards will be when he is in the minors. The Brewers don't have a big national tv reach. I would be careful here.
Antonio Pinero - Milwaukee Brewers SS - Pass.
Jheremy Vargas - Milwaukee Brewers Utility - Pass.
Adrian Sugastey - San Francisco Giants C - Young catcher. Pass.
Ryan Reckley - San Francisco Giants SS - 18 with only 46 at bats. Watch.
Diego Velasquez - San Francisco Giants SS - Pass. No pop.
Alexander Suarez - San Francisco Giants OF - Has some power. But check the K/BB ratio. Needs to walk more before I buy.
Andy Thomas - Seattle Mariners C - Pass.
Victor Labrada - Seattle Mariners OF - Extra base hit numbers are not bad. At 22 years old can he improve?
Luis Chevalier - Seattle Mariners 2B - Note. Now on the Reds but its a pass.
Charlie Welch - Seattle Mariners C - Pass.
Cade Marlowe - Seattle Mariners OF - Pass.
Benjamin Cowles - New York Yankees 2B/SS - Not a bad player but needs to improve.
Roderick Arias - New York Yankees SS - 18 years old so development will take time. Its a watch for sure.
Cooper Bowman - New York Yankees 2B - Now in Oakland but its a pass.
Yanquiel Fernandez - Colorado Rockies OF - Monster numbers. The true test will be AA. So don't go too crazy if you buy.
Juan Guerrero - Colorado Rockies OF - Another good prospect similar to Yanquiel.
Braxton Fulford - Colorado Rockies C - Pass.
Cristhian Vaquero - Washington Nationals OF - So young at 18. Watch him.
Daylen Lile - Washington Nationals DH - Watch had tommy john in April.
Evan Lee - Washington Nationals P - Pass. 25 yrs old.
Brady House - Washington Nationals 3B - 1st round stud that battled injuries but has power potential.
Tyler Collins - Atlanta Braves OF - Watch because hes 19 and I like what the Braves do from a development standpoint.
Brandol Mezquita - Atlanta Braves OF - Hit a ton of doubles in 2022 but to be a power prospect with not a ton of homers tells me his swing has holes. At 21 I would be careful here.
Dylan Dodd - Atlanta Braves P - Pass.
Cal Conley - Atlanta Braves SS -Too old for me at 23.
CJ Rodriguez - Oakland Athletics C - Pass.
Denzel Clarke - Oakland Athletics OF - Nope.
Junior Perez - Oakland Athletics OF - Nope. Rough time for the A's right now.

Cesar Prieto - Baltimore Orioles 2B - Too old.

Reed Trimble - Baltimore Orioles OF - Too old for me.
Greg Cullen - Baltimore Orioles 2B - Pass. 28 yrs old.
Isaac De Leon - Baltimore Orioles 3B - Pass. Too much swing and miss.
John Rhodes - Baltimore Orioles OF - Not bad but at 22 he seems to be a 4th outfielder.

Norge Vera - Chicago White Sox P - Pass.
Tanner McDougal - Chicago White Sox P - Pass.
