- Topps Now Tomas Nido is a 93 overall catcher with 91 power vs. right-handed pitching, 93 power vs. left-handing pitching, and solid all-around defense.
- Topps Now Austin Hays is a 94 overall OF with 106 contact vs. RHP, 97 power vs. RHP, and 93 speed.
- Topps Now Travis Shaw is a 95 overall 3B with 2B eligibility. He has 115 power vs. RHP, which puts him near the top of the list now for a power-hitting middle infielder.
- Topps Now Clint Frazier is a 95 overall OF with 110 power vs. RHP. His gold defense holds him back in comparison to most of the other Topps Now releases, but it’s better than his usual defense.
- Topps Now Yordan Alvarez is a 96 overall OF who does not have CF eligibility. He’s even worse in the field than Frazier, but his hitting stats for contact and power are all over 100 for both left handers and right handers. In other words, he’s the best hitter of this group (including Bichette).
- Topps Now Bo Bichette is a 98 overall, and he can play SS, 2B or 3B. He also has 100+ hitting stats against both left handers and right handers, and he also has diamond defense.
This is the fifth batch of Topps Now players, so we should have at least one more set (probably two) that coincides with the “lightning” player that is finally revealed. You can see the other players released for July and August here, here, here and here.
