After my productive Donruss break, I decided to try my hand at Bowman. Bowman is not usually one of my favorite sets, as I am less interested in prospects than a lot of other collectors (I like to get cards of players I can see play in the Majors). I still pick it up once in awhile.
1. Ceddanne Rafaela. Well, right off the bat it worked out pretty well. Bowman's base set only includes three Red Sox players, Rafaela being one of them. I was pretty thrilled to pull him.
2. D'Angelo Ortiz. Yes, this is Big Papi's son. Ortiz was drafted in the 19th round of the 2024 draft out of high school and has the potential to follow in his father's footsteps to play in Boston. I do not have a real good sense of what kind of prospect he is, I suspect there is definitely some room for growth, but this is definitely not on the level of the kind of prospect Vladimir Guerrero's son was.
3. Rafael Devers. Of course I pulled Devers as well. I have always had decent success getting Devers cards in packs. Hopefully he is passing the torch to Rafaela here.
And up next is a first for my building Ceddanne Rafaela collection:
This is my first autograph. As I said in a previous post, I am not going to super-collect him at the level I did with Connor Wong, Tzu-Wei Lin and Jason Varitek, but I am going to build him up in my collection. Getting that first autograph card is an important step in that.
