2025 Bowman Draft Baseball spotlights many of the premier selections from the 2025 MLB Draft, delivering the latest wave of coveted “1st Bowman” cards for prospect-focused collectors.
Collectors will have multiple formats to choose from in 2025 Bowman Draft Baseball, each offering a different mix of hits and content:
Hobby boxes are slated to deliver three autographs per box, making them a core option for those chasing signatures. Super jumbo boxes step things up with five autographs per box, catering to collectors who want maximum ink. New mega boxes join the lineup as well, highlighted by two exclusive Mega Chrome packs that provide an additional chase element beyond the standard configuration.
The base set is planned at 200 cards and will be available in both paper and Chrome versions, giving set builders and Chrome-focused collectors plenty to pursue. While specific parallel tiers have not yet been detailed, several types of variations are already confirmed.
Twenty players will receive Etched In Glass Variations, featuring top names from the 2025 MLB Draft class. Another group of 10 players will have Image Variations, offering alternate photography. In addition, 10 more prospects will appear on special Chrome variations that showcase them in their collegiate uniforms, adding a pre-pro look to the checklist.
Retrofractors return to give legendary players their own “1st Bowman” treatment. Among the confirmed names are Lou Brock in his Chicago Cubs days and Japanese icon Sadaharu Oh with the Yomiuri Giants. Sadaharu Oh will also have an autographed Retrofractor version, adding a rare international legend autograph to the product.
The same top prospects highlighted in the base and variation content also headline the Chrome Prospects Autographs lineup. This autograph checklist features 102 players and is expected to be supported by a full run of colorful parallels, continuing Bowman Draft’s tradition of rainbow-chase autos. Additionally, Gold Ink signatures will be available for a limited selection of 75 players, offering a premium autograph look with tighter scarcity.
With a deep prospect checklist, multiple box formats, and a mix of variations, legends, and premium autographs, 2025 Bowman Draft Baseball is positioned as a key release for collectors focused on the newest MLB Draft class. Between the 200-card base set, Chrome Prospects Autographs, and specialty elements like Etched In Glass Variations and Retrofractors, the product offers a broad range of chase cards for both set builders and hit seekers.
