📣 DAD’S TAKEON JOSH EKNESS

A single 2026 Update card for a relief pitcher who threw barely over five innings before hitting the injured list seems premature, though that 1.69 ERA in his initial MLB stint was impressive. The US42 numbering at least spares collectors from hunting down some oddball triple-digit slot. Rookie relievers are typically forgettable cardboard unless they close games, and Ekness wasn't doing that despite notching one save.

ABOUT JOSH EKNESS

Joshua Dean Ekness was born February 7, 2002 in Albuquerque, New Mexico and played college baseball at Lamar University and the University of Houston. He was selected by the Miami Marlins in the 12th round (353rd overall) of the 2023 Major League Baseball draft. The Marlins converted him to full-time relief, a move that paid major dividends. He posted a 1.91 ERA with 83 strikeouts in 66.0 innings over 48 games between Low-A Jupiter, High-A Beloit and Double-A Pensacola during the 2024 season. Ekness made his MLB debut in 2026, with the Marlins promoting him to the major leagues for the first time on May 2, 2026.

The 2026 Topps Update Series card captures the hard-throwing right-hander's rookie season with Miami. After recording a 1.69 ERA over six appearances, Ekness was placed on the injured list due to a right calf strain on June 1.
