In the last few weeks, multiple websites have dropped their top 100 prospects lists. These lists allow collectors to get an early read on those players who will one day become the biggest stars in the majors. Here are some key cards for the players who headline the articles.

Corbin Carroll- 2019 Bowman Draft Chrome Refractor

The Arizona Diamondbacks have had several rough seasons lately. That bad patch could be coming to an end, thanks to a loaded farm system that includes players like Jordan Lawlar and Druw Jones. The Diamondbacks also employ the player Keith Law identified as the top prospect in the game, Corbin Carroll.

Carroll, who began the 2022 season in AA, rode his power bat and blazing speed all the way to the big leagues, where he is expected to start the 2023 season. One of Carroll's best rookie cards is his 2019 Bowman Chrome Refractor. Collectors can grab a PSA 10 issue for around $100 before the outfielder starts doing his thing in the bigs.

Gunnar Henderson - 2020 Topps Pro Debut Auto

MLB.com has compiled a list with many of the same players as Law, but in a different order. The website believes that teh best prospect is Orioles SS/3B Gunnar Henderson. Like Carroll, Henderson reached the major leagues last year and acquitted himself well.

The Baltimore Oriole is lauded for both his talent with both the glove and the bat, which boasts significant home run potential. He is expected to play third base as the Orioles have another top prospect, Jackson Holliday, expected to eventually play shortstop. Henderson's Topps Pro Debut auto is a solid add to any collection and can be had for between $200-$500 depending on grade and variant.

Grayson Rodriguez - 2018 Bowman's Best Auto Refractor 

Grayson Rodriguez is not only one of the best pitchers in the minor leagues, he is also among the closest to putting his skills to use in the majors. Dominating hitters since being drafted in 2018, Rodriguez would have likely made the big leagues last year if not for some injury issues.

Once he does make the Orioles rotation, the righty will be joining an up-and-coming time primed to make some noise in the highly competitive American League East. One of his best rookie cards is featured in the 2018 Bowman's Best set. A PSA 9 issue of the card runs for around $125.

Jasson Dominguez - 2020 Bowman Chrome Prospects

Love or hate them, cards of star Yankee players sell for a premium. Jasson Dominguez is not the highest-rated Yankee prospect, that honor goes to shortstop Anthony Volpe, but Dominguez does have the greatest potential if his blend of skills ends up all coming together.

Dominguez reached AA last year at the age of 19. If he continues to play as he did last year, his 2020 Bowman Chrome card, which currently sells for between $50-$75, could be worth much, much more.

Francisco Alvarez 2020 Topps Heritage Auto 

In the late 1990s, the Mets traded for star catcher Mike Piazza who eventually wore the team's hat on his Hall of Fame plaque. Now, the team has another hard-hitting catcher who seems likely to soon make his mark in the big leagues.

Francisco Alvarez hit 28 total home runs last year during stints in AA, AAA, and the majors. While he is expected to begin this year in AAA, it shouldn't be long before he is up in Queens. His Topps Heritage rookie can be purchased raw for around $75.
