Agreed, I have a few of the Bowman's Best refractors including a couple of the numbered versions.

If he stays a better batter than pitcher, then I think you gotta go with a card where he's batting.

That's what I was thinking. If he ends up being know more for being a hitter, could this be a case where the rookie debut becomes more sought after.

I like the MC RC because he's holding a bat AND a glove. Can't lose.

I would not be upset with this outcome

I graded a bunch of these and sold them with that "sales pitch" which I do believe. I think those that bought these off me for around $20 each are going to be very happy.

I like it better then the other pitching rookie cards myself.

Absolutely sick as a red refractor.

Can’t understand why MLB doesn’t make more/add more of these to purchase. Especially for Ohtani.

Thanks!
I had thought that the MLB shop never put those Ohtani jerseys on sale, but seems like I was just too slow then.
Hopefully they restock some, but maybe I'll just have to live with the T-shirt (was probably going to buy that as well anyways).

Congrats on getting yours!

Try buying from the Angels team store?
Mariners have Kikuchi jerseys. Though not as popular.

Can we get the kid a batting helmet that doesn't fall off, even if he does have fabulous hair?

That pitch started on the outer edge and then moved about 6 inches outside. My wife would've called that a ball.

NYRE2PECT · 07-10-2021, 10:53 PM

Walked into the room to see that called strike - yowza.

You don't see Shohei argue with the umpire much at all but that one actually got a reaction from him.

Rage · 07-10-2021, 11:15 PM

Literally a foot off the plate

The plate itself is 17” wide, so your call of 12” off the plate is hilarious.
Was totally a ball though.
