2023 Topps Allen & Ginter Rookie Cards

10: 2023 Topps Allen & Ginter #112 Esteury Ruiz RC

Ruiz’s Topps Allen & Ginter debut comes during a historic season for the young centerfielder. With lightning speed, he’s shattered the A’s record for most stolen bases in a season and is on track to become the first rookie to swipe 60 bags since Tony Womack’s feat in 1997. Amidst the turmoil of the Oakland franchise’s recent announcement to relocate to Las Vegas, Ruiz has shined, flashing in an otherwise challenging year for a team in transition.

PS: According to the baseball analytics website Baseball Savant, Ruiz covers 29.7 feet per second while sprinting, which is better than all but seven MLB players. Maybe the Athletics found their next Rickey Henderson?

9: 2023 Topps Allen & Ginter #12 Michael Harris II RC

Atlanta’s batting order doesn’t let up, not even at the No. 9 spot, where Harris II boasts an average in the .290s. At just 22, this dynamic playmaker’s become another prime bat for arguably the best team in the Majors. Nearing 20 homers, 60 RBIs, and having already swiped 20 bases, his 2023 Allen & Ginter collection debut feels timely. Capping off what could be a defining year: Potentially adding some World Series bling to his collection.

8: 2023 Topps Allen & Ginter #240 Jordan Walker RC

The Cardinals are out of the 2023 postseason race and amid a rebuild. Circumstances could be worse, but why frown when your most prized rookie, Walker, is living up to the expectations and providing a look into sunnier days? As of mid-September, the 21-year-old had proved himself a clutch performer and menace at the dish, already tallying five game-winning RBIs and topping 15 homers on the season. “He’s definitely on a path to be great,” Cardinals manager Oliver Marmol said of Walker. “He’s going to help us win for a long time.”

7: 2023 Topps Allen & Ginter #269 Masataka Yoshida RC

The 29-year-old Yoshida arrived in Boston in 2023 on a $90 million contract. The Japanese star seamlessly transitioned to the Big Leagues, totaling 15 homers, 68 RBIs, and batting .285 through his first 130 appearances. Like Ichiro, another seasoned star who took his talents to America at 27, Yoshida wants to continue dominating the world’s top professional league. He’s already off to a great start, earning a spot in Allen & Ginter.

6: 2023 Topps Allen & Ginter #56 Triston Casas RC

Drafted in the first round by Boston in 2018, Casas made waves in 2023, making good on the promise that made him an early selection. In his Allen & Ginter debut campaign, he provided a spark for a Boston team navigating rough waters, showcasing timely hits, formidable power, and a discerning eye at the plate. While he’s boasted over 20 homers and 60 RBIs, his 70 walks, both highs for the Red Sox and all MLB rookies, truly stand out. Though shoulder inflammation might cut his rookie season short, the future in Beantown could be led by this 23-year-old powerhouse.
