Carlos Carrasco is a powerful pitcher who has been throwing very well for the Cleveland Indians in the past few years. A towering presence at 6’3” and 210 pounds, Carrasco uses his power to strike out batters and keep them off the plate. He is very popular in Cleveland and fans are consistently seeking signed and certified photography and equipment with Carlos Carrasco’s autograph.
Carrasco was originally signed as a free agent on November 25, 2003 by the Philadelphia Phillies, and played minor league and ML ball for the Phillies until he was traded in 2009 to the Cleveland Indians. He had a couple of tough injuries and Tommy John surgery, which kept him out of the lineup for all of 2012. He struggled a bit the next two years but then his health returned and he began showing his well-respected potential.
In 2016 Carrasco had a good year, pitching in 25 games and posted a W-L record of 11-8 with a 3.32 ERA. He improved his record in 2017, ending the year with a 18-6 W-L record – which was best in the American League — and a 3.29 ERA with 226 strikeouts.
Also in 2017, Carlos Carrasco joined a special club of pitchers when he pitched what is known as an “immaculate inning,” which means he struck out the side with the minimum nine pitches.
Carrasco also came as close as a pitcher can come to joining another special group in 2015 when he was throwing a no-hitter in the ninth inning against the Tampa Bay Rays, but unfortunately gave up a two-out, two-strike single.
Take a look at some very nice autographed MLB photos and equipment by Carlos Carrasco, and then see the rest of our online vault.

Stephen Strasburg is a three-time All-Star pitcher for the Washington Nationals of Major League Baseball. He stands 6’4” and weighs 235 pounds, an imposing figure coming off the mound with his leg kick. In seven seasons with the Nationals, he has posted a Win-Loss record of 84–45, and ERA of 3.07, and has whiffed 1,288 batters. In his debut game in 2010, he struck out 14 and instantly had a bevy of fans clamoring for a signed and authenticated # 37 red jersey.
Stephen Strasburg autographed photos and MLB equipment are amongst the most popular authenticated items we have, and his popularity just keeps growing. He has become somewhat of a poster boy for people who battle mental illnesses, particularly depression and anxiety. In addition, he had Tommy John surgery shortly after he started his career and missed most of 2011. He returned to form brilliantly in 2012, made the All-Star team and threw fastballs at 97 MPH. He has also led the National League in strikeouts (2014), and won the Dick Howser Trophy in 2009.
Strasburg’s last two years have shown stability and improvement, posting in 2016 a W/L record of 15-4 and an ERA of 3.60, and in 2017, the same record of 15-4 but his ERA dropped to 2.52, more than a whole point.
National’s fans are certainly looking forward to a Cy Young year from this young man, and if he keeps improving he may just do it in 2018.
Take a look at a few of our best picks below, showing off some of the best Stephen Strasburg autographed photos and MLB equipment. The take a tour of our online vault and see the rest of his collectibles and the rest of the star National players too.

Manuel Margot plays center field for the San Diego Padres with an arsenal of talents that could give the Fantastic Four a run for their money. Super speed on the bases, hard-hitting right handed batter, terrific outfield defense and an arm like a cannon that is accurate as a lightning bolt.
Initially, his introduction to Major League Baseball (MLB) came when the Boston Red Sox signed Margot as a free agent from the Dominican Prospect League in 2011, for which he nabbed an $800,000 bonus at the age of 17. He started his MLB career with the Red Sox in 2012.
In his season debut, Margot earned Red Sox Minor League Latin Program Player of the Year honors, after batting a .285 with 38 stolen bases in 68 games, which earned him a spot on the Red Sox’ DSL All-Star team. He is very patient at the plate for a young player, walking even more often than he struck out. His record in 2012 was 36 walks and 25 hits in 260 plate appearances.
Margot played the next two years for various levels of the Red Sox’ farm league teams, and performed very well. He was elected as a member of the World Team for the Futures Game prior to the Major League All-Star Game. However, in 2015, the Sox traded Margot to the San Diego Padres
He did well in his first minor league year with San Diego, and they brought him up to the majors in early season of 2016.
In 2017, he had a full year with the Padres and finished the season hitting .263 with a high on-base percentage and 13 home runs. He also came in sixth in the NL Rookie of the Year voting.
The Padres and fans expect a lot from the coming 2018 season from Manuel Margot, and we will have his most premium signed sports collectibles for you, the MLB fan and collector.
Take a look at these three great autographed collectibles by Manuel Margot. Then come peruse our online collection of MLB greats

Talk about dominant pitching? Then talk about Max Sherzer, now with the Washington Nationals. I mean, what can you say about a MLB pitcher who starts a season with a 13-0 record? How about starting a season at 19-1? So good it’s “sick.” How about three – yes three – Cy Young Awards? Yeah, sick. More than 2,000 career strikeouts? Crazy good. And why is a Max Sherzer authenticated autograph worth so much and hold its value so well? Here are a few more reasons:
A five-time All-Star as a pitcher? Yessir. A three-time league leader in wins? Two-time NL leader in strikeouts? Yup. Oh yeah. Two no-hitters? Yup. Did he throw an amazing 20 strikeouts in a nine-inning game? Yup, sure did – and tied the record. One last thing: Did he ever pitch the elusive “immaculate inning”? Sure did, on May 14, 2017. That is nine strikes and three outs in one inning. Immaculate. What else is there to say about Max Sherzer besides the huge statement made by his $210 million dollar contract? I would simply say, “Keep going Max.”
A nice pitching tidbit about Max: How would you like to pitch a perfect game in the major leagues into the ninth inning, face the last batter, and hit him with a pitch? Well, Max Sherzer did just that in 2015. Many observers said the batter leaned into the pitch, but what could Max do? Well, Max whiffed the last batter and got the no-hitter anyway. I don’t think anyone bought that (intentionally unnamed batter) a drink that night. Incredibly, Max Scherzer threw another no-hitter later that year, striking out 17 (nine in a row at one point), walking none, and hitting no one with a pitch. Why was that also not a perfect game? A throwing error by an (unnamed) teammate, that’s why. I’ll bet no one bought that guy a drink either.
Check out some of our amazing Max Scherzer autographed memorabilia (below), licensed and / or authenticated. Then enter the Max Scherzer vault and get yourself or a friend a nice signed piece of equipment that will hold its value long beyond his entry into the MLB Hall of Fame, and surely rise in value drastically when he is voted in, very likely in his first year of eligibility. Own a piece of a real pitching legend of the legendary major league baseball diamond – Max Sherzer.

This three-time All-Star plays third base for the Toronto Blue Jays and won the AL MVP in his first year with the Blue Jays (2015) after being traded by the Oakland Athletics. He was voted to the All-Star team in 2015 also, garnering the most votes by fans, who clamor for his signed and authenticated MLB memorabilia. All of our Josh Donaldson autographed baseball collectibles are authenticated or certified, and carry their value like a blue-chip stock. This guy makes the phone ring off the hook as people search for the best certified equipment and photos signed by Josh Donaldson. He is so popular with fans that when he came to bat either at home or away games, the fans would chant, “M-V-P! M-V-P!”
Besides what you read above, in 2015 Josh Donaldson also led the American League in runs scored and RBIs that year, won the Hank Aaron Award and the Silver Slugger Award. Goes to show, a change of teams and location can do wonders sometimes.
In good form in 2017, Donaldson hit 33 HR, had a .270 BA and drove in 78 RBI. His fans expect a great year from this complete player, and we expect his value to rise in the world of authenticated MLB collectibles.
Take a look at a few select items below that are autographed by slugger Josh Donaldson, and then check out our online collection of authenticated baseball memorabilia from the 1800s through today.

Not many major league baseball players get to start a career with the super-charged energy and winning ways that Kris Bryant has since winning Rookie of the Year just two years ago in 2015.
Kris Bryant plays third base for the Chicago Cubs, who finally won a World Series for their diehard fans – no pun intended – since many of them have long passed on as they waited since 1908 for a World Series win, the last time the Cubs held the crown.
So, it’s no surprise that this World Series winner who is already a two-time All-Star, and was also the NL MVP in 2016 – the same year he won the Hank Aaron Award, annually given to the top hitter in each league, is a fan favorite.
According to sales on Major League Baseball’s official website, Kris Bryant had the best-selling jersey in all of baseball during the 2015 regular season. We at Sports Collectibles.com receive a tremendous amount of inquiries about Kris Bryant signed MLB memorabilia and we have quite a collection of his best stuff. His autographed photos, equipment and other licensed memorabilia is quite the treasure trove, including a 24-karat gold autographed baseball!
In addition to the accolades above, Kris Bryant also was awarded the Golden Spikes Award and the Dick Howser Trophy in his short but illustrious career. He was selected 2nd overall in the 2013 MLB draft and hasn’t looked back since.
Few players in baseball – or any sport for that matter – have a collection of autographed MLB memorabilia as special and unique as Kris Bryant. (If I could afford to, this is the guy I would invest in). Take a look over these three selections below, and then gaze in wonder at the entire Kris Bryant collection in our online vault. (Hint: Look for Joe Maddon).

This hard-throwing, 6’6” left-handed hurler for the Boston Red Sox is a bona fide Major League Baseball star, and his autographed baseball collectibles are in big demand by fans and investors alike. We at sportscollectibles.com have a great collection of Chris Sale baseball memorabilia including equipment and color action photos, all genuine and certified authentic. His value continues to rise and all of his authenticated MLB memorabilia maintains and / or grows in esteem each season.
A very powerful pitcher, he strikes out as many batters as any pitcher out there, and has great speed and control, even as big as he is. Red Sox fans call him “The Condor,” likely because he looks like a giant bird when all 6’6” of his lean body is spread in the middle of his delivery.
A six-time All-Star, “The Condor” is also a two-time American League (AL) leader in strikeouts and is always near the top of the list in other years. As of this writeup (winter 2018), he is baseball’s career leader in strikeout-to-walk ratio with a 5.12. He has not yet won a Cy Young Award but has been in the top five in six different years. Pretty damned good.
“The Condor” looks like he’s heading for a possible Cy Young Award this year (2018). In looking at his last two years’ performances, we can see he still has all of his power and ball control. In 2016, he went 17-10 , and in 2017, he posted a better W/L record at 17-8 (4th best in the league) with a 2.90 ERA, and a major league leading 308 strikeouts.
And Chris Sale’s career record entering the 2018 season is nothing to sneeze at. His W/L record is 91–58, his ERA is 2.98 and he has 1,552 strikeouts, which he holds the record for reaching 1,500 strikeouts in the fewest games. With his health in good order, the Red Sox and Sale’s legion of fans expect a great year if the Red Sox give him the runs he needs.
Take a look at a few of our select MLB collectibles signed by Chris Sale and certified. Then peruse the rest of our offerings online.

Corey Kluber, aka “Klubot,” has some of the most valuable signed and authenticated MLB memorabilia out there. Frankly, some of the outstanding Corey Kluber autographed baseball equipment in our collection is under-priced, and the spring of 2018 is the perfect time to make an investment because I think he’ll win 20 games this year, and his values will only rise.
Kluber was drafted in 2007 by the San Diego Padres, where he languished as a pitcher mostly in the minor leagues until he was traded to the Cleveland Indians toward the season’s end in 2010, a fortuitous trade for the Indians. He made his debut in 2011 for Cleveland, and it is a fact that the Padres made a grave error in judgment when they traded “Klubot.” As a starting pitcher for the Cleveland Indians, Corey Kluber stands tall at 6’4” and 215 pounds, which makes him an imposing figure coming off the mound with that two-seam fastball.
Here are a few reasons why I day that the Padres made a grave error: In six years with the Indians, Kluber was voted an All-Star pitcher twice (2016, 2017), won the American League (AL)Cy Young Award twice (2014, 2017), was the AL wins leader twice (2014, 2017), had the AL’s lowest ERA in 2017, and those are just the highlights.
Let’s take a capsulized look at his past two years in the majors. In 2016 Corey Kluber posted a W/L record of 18-9, an ERA of 3.14. In 2017, Kluber had the same amount of wins but had five less losses. He pitched in 29 games, had an amazing W/L record of 18-4, and dropped his ERA almost a full point to 2.25, whiffing 265 batters along the way.
Cleveland fans cannot wait to see what this mound master does in 2018, which if he stays in form, will surely raise the value of his already well-esteemed autographed MLB memorabilia.
Take a look below at a few of our primo MLB collectibles signed by All-Star pitcher Corey Kluber and authenticated by some of the best houses in the business. I would jump on any signed Cy Young Award memorabilia that is autographed by Corey Kluber. Feel free to peruse the rest of our stellar collection of baseball collectibles online in our photo vaults.

After a great college career with North Carolina State University where he was named All-American 2nd and 3rd team. As a junior in 2014, he hit .321 with eight home runs and 26 stolen bases. Turner was also named the winner of the Brooks Wallace Award, given to the best shortstop in NCAA’s Division. Now in the majors, his likeable boyish demeanor and sparkling play at shortstop has his propelled his autographed equipment and photos to the top of the Washington Nationals signature requests.
After college, Turner was drafted by the San Diego Padres in 2014, going in the first round as the 13th overall selection. He was brought up from the minors towards the end of 2015 and got in a few hits with the Washington Nationals, who picked him up in a trade.
In 2016, he played in the minors, and was called back to the Nationals in July. He played outfield and shortstop, and won the Major League Baseball Rookie of the Month Award in the National League for his performance in August 2016, hitting .357 on the month with five home runs and 11 stolen bases, and finished second in the NL Rookie of the Year Award voting.
In 2016, Trea Turner had 307 at-bats, 105 hits, 53 runs and a BA of .342. In 2017 Turner played shortstop for the Nationals all season, and despite missing 20 days due to injuries, he had 412 at-bats, 117 hits, 75 runs and a BA of .284.
In addition to getting on base quite a bit, his speed helps him steal bases and score runs that win games. He has 81 stolen bases in his three years in the majors. Of note, he stole four bases in three innings, and stole four again in another game in 2017, a club record. With a career BA of .304, great speed and a tight bat, the Nationals and his fans look forward to s stellar 2018 from this talented young shortstop.
Take a look at the three select items below, autographed by Trea Turner and authenticated. We have MLB equipment, action color photography and more. Then see our entire collection online.

Zack Greinke is the second-highest paid Major League Baseball player by salary, which is $31,876,966 annually. He is a four-time All-Star despite having health problems he had to battle for several years. He had the lowest ERA in the majors in 2009 and 2015, and won four Golden Gloves.
Zack is very popular with fans due to his winning ways and persistence and bravery when he was ill. Zack Greinke’s signed baseball collectibles are always in demand and hold their value.
With more than 2,000 strikeouts in his career, and the games he wins often without much offense behind him, this dominant pitcher for the Arizona Diamondbacks is looking every bit the Cy Young Award winner he was in 2009 as he enters 2018 spring training this month.
In 2017, he threw a for a 17-7 Win-Loss record, an ERA of 3.20 and 215 strikeouts. Big improvement over 2016 when he had a W/L record of 13-7 and a higher ERA of 4.37. Also in 2017, he helped the Diamondbacks to the NLDS for the first time since 2011.
An interesting note on Zack Greinke’s pitching prowess is when he pitched 39 scoreless innings in a row between the end of the 2008 season and the start of 2009. That’s four and one-third scoreless games!
Take a look at some primo selections of Zack Greinke autographed collectibles below and then peruse our entire gallery of Greinke’s signed memorabilia and other Diamondback stars.

Starling Marte is an All-Star outfielder for the Pittsburgh Pirates and in the five years since his 2012 debut, he has made his mark starting with a home run on the first pitch ever thrown to him in the major leagues! In addition to being an All-Star, Marte is a two-time Gold Glove Award winner, and will just keep improving. In 2016, Marte had a stellar year, hitting .311 for the season with 152 hits and 71 runs scored. Then in 2017, he tested positive for a performance-enhancing drug and was suspended for 80 games.
Despite the setback, Marte is certainly going to want to reestablish his prowess and place on the Pirates in this new 2018 season, and we look forward to seeing him blossom.
As one professional baseball observer noted, Starling Marte is an exciting player to watch, has very good athleticism and speed to go along with the ability to hit. The scary thing is that he is starting to mature physically and is starting to develop power as well. His speed-power-hit combo is going to make him a very fun player to see mature. I couldn’t agree more.
Take a look at some exciting Starling Marte autographed MLB collectibles below and then peruse our entire gallery of Pittsburgh Pirate players baseball collectibles, from past greats like Willie Stargell to today’s stars and future Hall of Famers.

The Arizona Diamondbacks selected A.J. Pollock in the first round of the 2009 MLB Draft as a center fielder. After a great career in the minor leagues, he made his MLB debut in 2012. This young star has survived two instances where he broke his elbow, yet came back strong. His autographed MLB collectibles are in demand after great 2017 season.
When the Diamondbacks invited Pollock to spring training in 2010, he broke his right elbow while attempting to make a diving catch. Pollock missed the entire season due to the injury.
In 2015, Pollock had a breakout year, winning a Gold Glove Award and being voted to the All-Star team.
After rehab in the minors, Pollock was again called up to the majors in 2012. Batting as a pinch hitter for Justin Upton, Pollock collected his first career MLB hit, a single, on April 23 against the Phillies. He played in 31 games that season for the Diamondbacks, batting .247 with two home runs and eight RBIs. In 2013, Pollock batted .269 with eight home runs and 38 RBIs over the course of 137 games.
Pollock missed the second half of the 2014 season with an injury. Up to that point in the season, he was batting .302. In 2015, he was named a National League All-Star. He ended the season batting .315 with 20 home runs and 76 RBIs. Pollock signed to a two-year contract extension worth $10.25 million on February 8, 2016. Pollock broke his right elbow again at the end of spring training, this time on a slide at home plate, and missed most of the 2016 season. In the 12 games he would appear in during the 2016 season, Pollock would record 10 hits on 41 at bats, a .244 batting average.
On May 15, 2017, Pollock was placed on the 10-day disabled list due to a right groin strain. Over the course of 112 games in 2017, Pollock would record a batting average of .266, 14 home runs, and 49 RBI.

When you average 150 base hits per season like Billy Hamilton does, and can steal a base pretty much whenever you want, you become a pretty valuable asset to a team like the Cincinnati Reds. You also have a very high value for your autographed MLB collectibles. Hamilton’s signed memorabilia is always in demand, since he has more stolen bases than two of the best the game has ever seen.
This ultra-speedy center fielder holds the Minor League Baseball single-season stolen base record with 155 steals—10 higher than the previous Minor League record set by Vince Coleman, and 25 more than Rickey Henderson’s record set for MLB.
Hamilton became the first Major League player since 1920 to steal four bases in his first Major League start. In his first 10 times on base, he stole nine bases and scored six runs. He was successful in his first 13 steal attempts, before being thrown out on his 14th attempt.
An interesting factoid: At the opening of the 2015 season, Billy Hamilton joined Vince Coleman as the only players in MLB history to steal six bases in their team’s first three games. In the following game, he stole a seventh base, again matching Coleman for a record by being one of two players to steal seven bases within the first four games of the season.
Take a look at a few of our special collection autographed Billy Hamilton memorabilia items. Then look at the rest of our online vault.

This very talented young pitcher for the Seattle Mariners is just getting better with each season. Paxton greatly improved between the 2016 and 2017 seasons, as shown in 2017 when he threw for a W/L record of 12-5, had a very low 2.98 ERA, and whipped 156 strikeouts. His autographed baseball memorabilia is becoming somewhat of a collector’s item amongst fans and investors alike. He has some nice items that we can barely keep in stock, and that now fill a bunch of man-caves across the country, in Canada, and in Europe.
In June 2010, Paxton was drafted by the Seattle Mariners in the fourth round of the 2010 Major League Baseball Draft. At 6’4” and 215 pounds, he uses his full body strength and height to place heavy torque on his fastball, which sets up hitters to fall for the curve that drops about a half-foot within two feet of home plate. This left-handed blazer gives much consternation to opposing hitters, and in his few short seasons, has compiled a very respectable pitching record of W/L of 30-20, an ERA of 3.28, and strikeouts of 409.
The Mariners and their fans expect a great 2018 season from Paxton as spring training begins while I write this.
Take a look at a few choice autographed James Paxton MLB collectibles below, and then take a tour around our online vault.

Yoenis Cespedes plays the outfield for the New York Mets and is a very popular player, particularly with Cuban-Americans. He won the Home Run Derby in both 2013 and 2014, and is a two-time All-Star. In 2015, played in his first World Series as member of the NL champion Mets. His autograph is in demand amongst his many fans, keeping his collectibles value up in the ratings.
Not a very big guy, he swings his stocky 220 pounds like a hammer, which is why Cespedes is nicknamed La Potencia, which means, “The Power.”
In 2013, Céspedes won the Home Run Derby, hitting 32 home runs in the exhibition, including 17 in the first round. He defeated the National League’s Bryce Harper in the final round by hitting 9 home runs, with five swings to spare.

Domingo Santana signed as an international free agent with the Philadelphia Phillies in March 2009, receiving a $330,000 signing bonus. The Phillies traded Santana to the Houston Astros on July 31, 2011, with Jon Singleton, Jarred Cosart, and Josh Zeid, in exchange for Hunter Pence. He was added to the 40-man roster on November 20, 2013.
The Astros promoted Santana to the major leagues from the Oklahoma City RedHawks of the Class AAA Pacific Coast League (PCL) on July 1, 2014. He debuted the same day, going 0-4 with three strikeouts. After batting 0-for-13 with 11 strikeouts, the Astros demoted Santana to Oklahoma City on July 6.
On March 13, 2015, Santana was optioned to the Fresno Grizzlies of the PCL. He was recalled on June 16. That same day, he collected his first major league hit on an RBI single to right that scored Evan Gattis.
On July 30, 2015, the Astros traded Santana, Brett Phillips, Josh Hader, and Adrian Houser to the Milwaukee Brewers for Carlos Gómez and Mike Fiers. The Brewers assigned Santana to the Colorado Springs Sky Sox of the PCL, and promoted him to the major leagues on August 21.
On July 26, 2017, Santana hit the longest home run in the history of Nationals Park, a 475 foot shot which landed on the concourse behind the left field stands.
Santana wrapped up 2017 in good form, slamming 30 HRs, hitting for a .278 BA and knocking in 85 RBI. WE expect even more improvement in this new 2018 season, and his fans are too.
Take a look at a few select autographed items by Domingo Santana that will sharpen up any man-cave, and then peruse the rest of our online collectibles vault of MLB memorabilia.

Justin Smoak is a hard-hitting first baseman for the Toronto Blue Jays who is very popular with the fans. His autographed MLB collectibles are well-esteemed and keep their value year after year. He is coming into his own after a few up-and-down years.
On October 28, 2014, the Toronto Blue Jays claimed Smoak off of waivers. He made his debut with Toronto on Opening Day. In a game at Yankee Stadium on August 8, Smoak became the first Blue Jay to hit a grand slam against the Yankees at their home field. He split time at first base for most of the 2015 season, and in 132 games, Smoak batted .226 with 18 home runs and a career-high 59 RBI. Not a bad year.
Then Justin Smoak signed a one-year, $3.9 million contract for the 2016 season with the Blue Jays for 2015. He had a less than stellar couple of years until 2017 when he began to flourish after changing batting coaches.He was included on the team’s Wild Card and Division Series rosters, but was left off the Championship Series roster. On October 15, Smoak was added to Toronto’s ALCS roster.
In 2017, Smoak was voted as the American League starting first baseman for the 2017 Major League Baseball All-Star Game in Miami. At the time of the announcement, Smoak had a .303 batting average and 22 home runs, both of which were career highs.

The Oakland Athletics have one heck of a talented left fielder in Khris Davis, who is also one of the nicest guys in the majors. He always takes time to give autographs to kids, and we have a collection of certified signed MLB collectibles by Khris Davis. However, we have had a hard time keeping his autographed memorabilia in stock due to his popularity.
Khris Davis is exciting and super-consistent baseball player. Just look at his slashes in 2016 and 2017:
2017 – ABs: 566, RUNS: 91, HITS: 140, RBIs: 110, Home Runs: 43, BA: .247
2016 – ABs: 555, RUNS: 85, HITS: 137, RBIs: 102, Home Runs 42, BA: .247
It doesn’t get much more consistent than that. He is the only Athletic to ever have back-to-back 40-homer seasons.
Davis was a rookie with the Milwaukee Brewers who opened up an everyday role for Davis. After a slow start, batting .219 with an on-base percentage of .250 and a slugging percentage of .388 through May 20, Davis hit four home runs in six games. At the All-Star Break, Davis led the Brewers with 15 home runs. In 144 games for the Brewers, Davis hit .244 with 22 home runs and 69 RBI. Had a solid year in 2015, battimg .247 with 27 home runs and 66 RBI in 121 games.
In 2016, the Brewers traded Davis to the Oakland Athletics, where Davis promptly hit 3 home runs, including a walk-off grand slam for the third. This was only the second time this has happened in MLB history.
On August 14, 2016, Davis hit his 30th home run of the season, a two-run homer against the Seattle Mariners. On September 18, 2016, Davis hit his 39th and 40th home runs of the season in a game against the Rangers. He added two more homers to conclude the season. He also contributed 102 RBI for the season, becoming the first player in the franchise to hit 100 or more RBIs since the 2006 season, when Frank Thomas had 114 RBIs for the Athletics.

Houston won the AL West division with a 101–61 record, thus advancing Bregman to his first career major league playoff.

It is unusual for a major league baseball pitcher to stand only 5’8” tall, but Marcus Stroman sure makes the most of what he has been given by nature, improving every year he pitches for the Toronto Blue Jays. His autographed baseball memorabilia is becoming more popular with every pitch, and his stature has made him a special fan favorite.
Stroman’s major league career began when was called up to the Blue Jays in 2014 and pitched well throughout his first season whenever he got a chance. He nailed his first complete game (a shutout) on September 8, needing only 93 pitches to beat the Chicago Cubs. He gave up three hits and retired 19 consecutive batters before giving up a single. However, he required knee surgery which kept him out for much of the year.
He has been pitching very strong since his return and has steadily improved his game and control in the past two years. Stroman struck out 13 Houston Astros batters in a no-decision in 2016 and ended the season with a 9–10 record, 4.37 ERA, and 166 strikeouts. On October 3, he had his first start in a Wild Card game, throwing for six innings and giving up just two runs. The little “big guy” struck out six and the Blue Jays advanced to the 2016 American League Division Series. Stroman was scheduled to start the fourth game of the ALDS against the Rangers, however the Blue Jays swept Texas and advanced to play the Cleveland Indians in the American League Championship Series. Stroman pitched 5 innings and yielded four earned runs in his lone ALCS start.
In addition to his pitching excellence, Stroman is a damned good hitter, smacking home runs with impunity and even coming into a game as a pinch-hitter. After a strong 2017 in which Stroman won the Gold Glove Award and was elected the World Baseball Classic MVP, fans in Milwaukee look forward to a very strong 2018 season for the shortest pitcher in the league who has a long reach to the plate.

Wil Myers is the steady first baseman for the San Diego Padres, and a former AL Rookie of the Year in 2013. He was an All-Star in 2016, and has more natural potential than even Willie Mays when it comes to fruition. Wil Myers’s autographed MLB collectibles are some of the coolest collectibles on the MLB market.
In spite of the fact that he did not join the Rays until their 70th game on June 18, Myers led AL rookies with a total of 53 RBIs in the 88 games he played. The last player to lead AL rookies in RBIs in fewer than 90 games was Hoot Evers playing for the Detroit Tigers in 1946, when he had 33 in 81 games. He also became the first ever hitter to win the award in under 100 games
Myers, after winning NL player of the month in June, was selected to his first all star team and named a participant in the 2016 home run derby. The 2016 season would prove to be Myers’ breakout season after two straight injury riddled seasons. He led the team in various offensive categories while also setting career highs offensively. He finished with 28 home runs, 28 stolen bases and 94 RBIs in 157 games.
He had a career-high 30 homers in 2017 and showed more of his untapped potential.
Professional MLB baseball observers believe that 2018 will be the year where Wil Myers pulls it all together, and so do we.

Xander Bogearts is a tall and husky shortstop for the Boston Red Sox, at 6’2” and 220 pounds. His steady and often spectacular defensive and offensive play has made him a fan favorite, known as “X-Man” to his legion of fans. Xander Bogearts autographed baseball memorabilia is well-collected by his Aruban constituency and American fans and collectors.
After being signed as an amateur free agent by the Red Sox in 2009, Bogaerts made his MLB debut in 2013, appearing in 30 games between the regular season and postseason, and helping the Red Sox to the World Series championship. Heading into the 2013 season, Bogaerts was ranked the fifth overall prospect by ESPN’s Keith Law, who described him as “Still just 20 years old, Bogaerts has been playing solid shortstop for Portland with a solid walk rate but not the power expected from his explosive swing.” Entering 2013, Bogaerts ranked 6th in the MLB.com Top 100 Prospects list, and 8th in the Baseball America Top 100 Prospects list. He became the Red Sox’ starting shortstop in 2014, and was awarded American League Silver Slugger award at the position in back to back years in 2015 and 2016.
Bogaerts broke out in 2015, leading the Red Sox with a career-high .320 average, finishing second only to Miguel Cabrera for the AL batting title. From late July, Bogaerts began to bat second or third exclusively. He was awarded the Silver Slugger award for shortstop. On top of his breakout offense, Bogaerts was also a finalist for the Rawlings Gold Glove Award at shortstop. In 2016, Bogaerts again began the season as the Red Sox’ starting shortstop, primarily batting third. Between May 6 and June 2, Bogaerts hit safely in 26 consecutive games. His hitting streak came to an end in a loss to the Toronto Blue Jays on June 3. In 2016, he was chosen to play in his first ever MLB All Star Game of his career. Bogaerts finished the season batting .294 and was once again given the American League’s shortstop Silver Slugger Award.
Below are a few choice signed and certified memorabilia by Xander Bogearts that would grace any wall or man-cave.
