Fuentes is the classic case of manufacturers slapping a kid on a card before he proves anything. The guy had a 13.65 ERA in his 2025 debut but Topps and Panini still rushed out his rookie cards anyway. Yes, 2026 was better in the bullpen, but collectors need to stop chasing every 20-year-old international signing with a fastball. His real rookie year is 2025, not 2026, so half the market does not even understand what they are buying. The three-fingered fastball gimmick will be on every card back for the next decade.
