1st Bowmans to Collect
2024 Bowman Baseball #BP-52 Yohandy Morales
As a junior at the University of Miami in 2023, Morales scorched the diamond batting .408 with 20 homers. The Nationals made him a second-round pick that same year and he signed for a whopping 2.6 million. The 6-foot-4 behemoth is expected to make it to The Bigs by 2025 and has the ability to become an All-Star.
2024 Bowman Baseball #BP-66 Luis Baez
Baez scored big time with Houston, snagging the top spot in their 2022 international signings with a sweet $1.3 million deal straight outta the Dominican Republic. At 18, he wasted no time making noise in the Rookie-level Dominican Summer League, racking up 19 doubles and 30 extra-base hits, good for second in the league. And get this: he slammed seven homers down in just 17 games in the rookie-level Florida Complex League last summer. The sky is the limit.
2024 Bowman Baseball #BP-142 Arjun Nimmala
Nimala made history in 2023 when he became the first first-generation Indian-American to be drafted in the first round across four major U.S. sports. The 18-year-old is so good his accomplishments are historical. That’s enough to invest in his first Bowman.
2024 Bowman Baseball #BP-23 Dylan Crews
An SEC Player of the Year, Golden Spikes Award winner and College World Series champion, Crews batted an eye-popping .426 during his final season at LSU before landing in Washington, where he signed the second biggest draft bonus in MLB history (9 million). With the Nationals, he joins an organization with a host of young prospects that like himself could one day be perennial All-Stars.
2024 Bowman Baseball #BP-43 Walker Jenkins
The No. 5 pick in 2023, Jenkins exploded out of the gates, batting a combined .362 with three homers in 26 games split between Rookie and A-ball in his first year. Despite being just 19, he’s projected to hit The Bigs by 2026. He’s that good.
2024 Bowman Baseball #BP-50 Luke Adams
Adams skipped the college route, going straight to the professional world and landing in Milwaukee in the 12th round of the 2022 draft. Now 20, and already having dominated Rookie ball and A-ball, the third basemen’s enjoying success in A-plus Wisconsin. If he continues to accelerate through the lower ranks, he could be in The Bigs very soon.
