Let’s keep rolling with some inserts now while I have some momentum. Time for the Spirit All-Rookie Team set. This is a 15-card set with the top rookies at each position and 5 best rookie starting pitchers for the 2023 season. Here’s the checklist:

Yainer Díaz - C
Triston Casas - 1B
Matt McLain - 2B
Josh Jung - 3B
Gunnar Henderson - SS
Corbin Carroll - OF
Nolan Jones - OF
James Outman - OF
Spencer Steer - DH
Andrew Abbott - SP
Tanner Bibee - SP
Bobby Miller - SP
Eury Pérez - SP
Kodai Senga - SP
Yennier Cano - RP

Design-wise, there’s a big diagonal bar running behind the player cutouts with the “2023 All-Rookie Team” text running over it. The “All-Rookie” portion overlaps the photo but with a little bit of transparency, the image shows through. The rest of the text is behind the cutout to show some depth. At the bottom of the card is another bar for the name and position running over the whole photo. The bottom right corner has a team color overlay and space for the team logo. The different planes and overlapping is meant to add depth and make things a bit more dynamic.

Here’s a look at the autograph parallels. Everything is the same but with a white autograph strip for the player signature. The original design really lended itself to an easy auto solution.
