If you’re looking for baseball cards of the first round picks from the 2022 MLB Draft there are definitely lots to choose from. While their first cards as pros are still a few months away, more than two-thirds of the first 30 picks already made their cardboard debuts prior to their name being called.

As has been the case for the last several years, baseball card prospecting can start years in advance thanks in large part to a variety Panini USA Baseball and Leaf Perfect Game products. This includes a lot of autographs.

Also in the mix this year is Onyx Authenticated. With new NIL rules in place, they’ve upped their Onyx Vintage sets to get in on players earlier than before — including some 2022 first rounders.

In all, 22 of the 30 picks from the main first round already had cards at the time of the draft.

Here’s a breakdown of all of the first round picks including details on their baseball cards, card stats (as of the draft), where to find their first ones and more. Card counts are current as of the time of the draft based on what’s included in the Beckett database.
