2025 Topps Series 2 - Preorder Announced - Who are the Rookies?

We have a date for the Topps Pre-order for 2025 Topps Series 2 flagship set! Pre-orders will be going live on topps.com at 12pm ET on Monday, May 12th!

As the checklist and odds are published in the coming days/weeks I will be posting a more in depth product introduction. For now, Let's just look at the rookies that are expected in this set. For Series 1, Topps appeared to have used a debut date of September 1st - Rhett Lowder debuted on August 30th and was included, however Caden Dana debuted on September 1st and was not included. 

So who do I expect to have true rookies in 2025 Topps Series 2?

2025 Debut Rookies

Rookies making their debut early in the 2025 season are a bit harder to predict.. We can look for clues, like if they're in other products already as rookies (e.g., Heritage, Bowman).  In addition, it's possible that some early season debuts could be SP only (similar to Jackson Chourio, Jackson Holliday, Jackson Merrill, and Wyatt Langford in 2024 Series 2).

• Roki Sasaki, Dodgers

• Tomoyuki Sugano, Baltimore
