Did MLB Rookies Have Best Opening Weekend... Ever?

*Video available on YouTube & Spotify Everybody knows the big names when it comes to the Konnor Griffin’s and Kevin McGonigle’s of the prospect world, but in my opinion the best Bowman value always comes from digging a little bit deeper. Where most people will tell you which top 100 prospects to buy I take a different approach, finding deep sleepers who I believe have a chance to see their prices go up exponentially. My “High Upside Prospects to Buy Under $20” article last year brought us names like Joshua Baez and Caleb Bonemer who have exploded since with $100+ base autographs. Today I’m going to review the 10 prospects who I labeled as a ‘Buy’ on my Team Buy Sheets this offseason that have seen the biggest percentage gains, but to show you it’s possible to make money on lower end names I’ll focus on the ones that were under $20 just a few months back.
