Top Randy Arozarena Rookie Cards and Prospect Cards to Collect
Sometimes it just takes a hot streak at the right time to see a big surge in hobby interest, and this is exactly the case for Randy Arozarena rookie cards under the bright lights of October baseball.
The Cuban slugger made his MLB debut in 2019 with the St. Louis Cardinals. However, his breakout arrived following a trade to the Tampa Bay Rays in the 2020 offseason. During the 2020 MLB Postseason, his bat was on fire and his cards started heating up, as well.
While the Randy Arozarena rookie cards came in 2020, he added Rookie of the Year hardware in 2021.
The earliest Randy Arozarena prospect cards came in 2017 after he signed an international free agent contract with the Cardinals. One atypical aspect of his cards is that he is not found in any Bowman sets prior to 2020. In 2020, the official Randy Arozarena rookie cards were issued in Panini and Topps baseball products.
Also worth noting, his 2020 trade means that many of the early Arozarena rookies feature the Cardinals instead of the Rays. The card companies eventually caught up during the '20 MLB season.
The guide below highlights key rookies and prospects for Arozarena. For a rundown on all the sets, view the full 2020 Baseball Cards Guide.
