Player » Corey Seager

Corey Seager, the hard-hitting young shortstop for the Los Angeles Dodgers, was unanimously voted the 2016 NL Rookie of the Year, was elected to the NL All-Star team in both of his first full seasons in the majors, and is already a marquee name and a fan favorite, whose autographed baseball collectible items are on the hot list and will stay there for a long time to come. Nearly every record he has set in only two years and two months in Major League baseball have the word ?youngest? in front of them. Let's just glance at his rookie year, 2016, in which he had a .308 batting average, 26 home runs and 72 RBIs. He was selected Rookie of the Year by the Players Choice Awards, Baseball America, and the Sporting News. Prior to his official rookie year, Seager was called up to play shortstop near the end of the season on September 3rd of 2015. Within his initial 19 days in the big leagues, he broke a long-standing record by getting on base at least once in his first 16 games. In his short playing time that year, he hit .337, earning him the starting post at shortstop in the first game of the NL Division Series. Seager's stellar play has continued unabated through 2016-17 and will surely continue as this ?young? star reaches his optimum playing ability.

Corey Seager is one of the new breed of young power-hitting infielders that includes his Dodger teammate Cody Bellinger, Carlos Correa of the Houston Astros, Jose Altuve (also Houston) and a few other special infielders who historically are not positions where players blast doubles, triples and home runs like big outfielders. Infielders are generally hired for their defensive skills, and if they can hit with power, it's a bonus. But this new crop is turning the tables on the established wisdom of infielders as players who mostly hit singles and generally are not ?sluggers". Watching Corey Seager and teammate Cody Bellinger take the Dodgers to the tops of the majors in the coming years will be a treat for all fans of baseball. Now is the time to invest in these rare talents and purchase autographed items with a COA to either hold for resale or to hang on your wall and show off to your friends. Be sure to check out the very special and rare Corey Seager / Cody Bellinger Autographed 2017 All Star Baseballs. These two players for the LA Dodgers both won the NL Rookie of the Year Award by unanimous vote, Seager in 2016 and Bellinger in 2017. The value of any authenticated baseball memorabilia that is co-signed by these two star players is sure to rise and quickly, now that Bellinger won Rookie of the Year, and the Dodgers made it to the World Series in 2017. The Dodgers will surely be chasing the pennant in 2018, and the equity of franchise players will ensure a continuing rise of value in their autographed baseball memorabilia.
