📣 DAD’S TAKEON DAISUKE MATSUZAKA

A 2026 Prizm of a pitcher whose MLB career ended in 2014 is exactly the kind of checklist-padding the hobby loves now. The Prizms Blue Ice parallel is nice enough, but this feels like Panini digging deep into retired Red Sox history to fill out the product. Matsuzaka had two good years in Boston before injuries derailed everything, making this more nostalgia play than anything collectors were clamoring for.

ABOUT DAISUKE MATSUZAKA

Daisuke Matsuzaka was born September 13, 1980, in Tokyo, Japan, and became a star player in both Japan and the United States. The record $51.1 million posting fee to Boston in 2006 created the 'Matsuzaka Money' phenomenon. Matsuzaka made his major league debut on April 5, 2007 for the Red Sox, picking up the win while striking out 10 in 7 innings in a 4-1 Boston victory over the Kansas City Royals. With the win against the Minnesota Twins to secure the Red Sox's place as the winner of the Division, he closed out his first Major League season with a record of 15-12 and an ERA of 4.40. Matsuzaka started and won Game 7 of the 2007 ALCS on October 21, 2007 against the Cleveland Indians; the Red Sox won this game 11-2 to advance to the 2007 World Series. He won both the decisive seventh game of the ACLS against the Cleveland Indians and game three of the World Series against the Colorado Rockies, which made him the first Japanese pitcher to win a World Series game. In 2008, Matsuzaka went 18-3 with a 2.90 ERA over 29 starts.

The collection includes a 2026 Prizm Prizms Blue Ice parallel numbered 213 featuring Matsuzaka in his Red Sox uniform.
