📣 DAD’S TAKEON MUNETAKA MURAKAMI

Here comes the swing-and-miss savior everyone supposedly missed on. The industry wrung its hands over strikeout concerns before he signed, then he whiffed 196 times and still mashed 35 bombs as a rookie. Now Topps slapped him on everything from base Bowman to multiple Finest tiers with World's Finest and Arrivals inserts. Collectors get twelve cards of a guy who proved power plays even when contact doesn't.

ABOUT MUNETAKA MURAKAMI

Munetaka Murakami is a Japanese professional baseball infielder for the Chicago White Sox, signed as a free agent in December 2025. Over eight NPB seasons with the Yakult Swallows, Murakami hit 265 home runs and posted a slash line of .273/.394/.550. At age 22 in 2022, he crushed 56 home runs, breaking Sadaharu Oh's single-season NPB record for most home runs by a Japanese-born player, and won a batting Triple Crown with a .318 average, 56 homers and 134 RBIs. He won the Central League MVP award following the 2021 season by hitting 39 home runs, driving in 112 RBIs and drawing 106 walks, and earned a second Central League MVP in 2022.

Murakami made his MLB debut on March 26, 2026, and finished his rookie season with a .207 batting average, 35 home runs, and 77 RBIs across 127 games. He ranked 5th in the AL in home runs and was named an AL All-Star. The 2026 collection features multiple Topps products including base cards from Bowman Chrome, Topps Chrome, and Update Series, plus extensive Finest coverage with base commons, uncommons and rares across different numbering schemes, the Arrivals and World's Finest inserts, and Purple X-Fractor and Yellow parallels.

Start with the exact edition shown here: 2026 Topps Chrome Future Stars #FS-1. Match the year, product, card number and finish before comparing another listing. Inspect the front and back scans for corners, edges, surface and any serial stamp; a photo does not establish a professional grade. For the autograph cards, also inspect the signature and manufacturer authentication text. Choose the card for your collection rather than treating this page as a prediction of investment returns.
