📣 DAD’S TAKEON TATSUYA IMAI
Three different 2026 products documenting a bumpy first season in Houston. The guy posted a sparkling 1.92 ERA his final year in Japan, then gave the Astros a 4.93 ERA in limited innings across 23 appearances. Nothing says rookie adjustment like watching your numbers balloon by three full runs when you cross the Pacific. At least Topps covered all the bases while he figured out MLB hitters.
