2018 was another solid year for rookies and rookie cards, as we saw major impact rookies make their debut with the likes of Shohei Ohtani, Ronald Acuna Jr., Juan Soto, Gleyber Torres, Miguel Andujar, Ozzie Albies, and Walker Buehler in the top tier.

We also saw rookie cards for players who had a major impact last season, but didn’t have many cards out at the time including Rhys Hoskins and Rafael Devers.

A second tier of rookies who may not have made the impact that above mentioned made, but may be worth paying attention to, include…Clint Frazier, Willie Calhoun, Ryan McMahon, Harrison Bader, Jack Flaherty, Francisco Mejia, Alex Verdugo, Victor Robles, J.P. Crawford, Scott Kingery, David Bote, Austin Meadows, Tyler O’Neill, Willy Adames, Mike Soroka, Lourdes Gurriel, David Palka and many more.

I’m going to take some time of the next month and show cards that won’t break the bank for each of the key players who cards came out this season (Topps brand only).  We covered Shohei Ohtani rookie cards last week and are moving on to Ronald Acuna Jr. this week…
