Coming off what was maybe the best set of cards we have gotten all year with the end of the April Spotlight Program, we get things going once again with a fresh May Spotlight Program. Unfortunately, the Drop 1 cards are very weak.
The top free reward is Spotlight Kyle Stowers. He’s not even a top 10 option in RF to me. The two 91 overalls in the Drop 1 pack are also weak options for 91 overalls. Spotlight Maikel Garcia and Spotlight Bailey Ober are both very middling options compared to the overall rating.
May Drop 1 Spotlight Cards
Along with Kyle Stowers, you can earn Topps Now Kyle Manzardo and Topps Now Zach Agnos. Manzardo has great power from both sides of the plate, and Agnos is at least another reliever to test out. He has a cutter and sweeper, but he’s got nothing that cuts against the grain.
May Spotlight Drop 1 Pack
The less said about these cards the better in a general sense. I don’t see any “sneaky” options even among this group. These are platoon bats, contact-first guys, and pitchers that lack top-end velo. Topps Now Hoglund does have a good pitch mix, but I don’t think he has the attributes to hold up.
