usually first year legends come in the game the swing is less great. Also can someone explain why they didn't have the sosa hop when he hit the no doubter in the trailer

This card is nearly equal to finest trout. Could be one of the best right handed hitting outfielders the game has ever had. Maybe Mays a few years ago and most trout cards. Other than that I can’t think of any that would beat this.
Random observation: the last 4 NL Collection rewards have been:
Sheffield
Soriano
Clemente
SosaAll righty bats! Would love some diversity but can't argue with Sosa this year!!!! Each League reward will be better than the MLB reward.
Now to decide whether to go after AL or NL first!!!!!!

Sosa has arguably one of the most recognizable swings in baseball history. That hop is literally his trademark and will be what most people want to see when they play as him in the game. There is no way they don't fix that or maybe this was just taken from an earlier incomplete build. Remember, the delivery they gave Randy Johnson last year at launch was terrible, but they corrected it almost immediately to their credit so I wouldn't worry too much.

t so
NL will also be so much easier to collect as Judge, Ohtani, Trout, and now DeGrom are all in the AL. NL won't be as bad!

Machado, Arenado/Goldy, Scherzer, Harper, some Brave going to rise in order to compensate. And that's assuming you finish the NL before Fernandomania resumes.

Not easy, but easier!

Let's hope the swing doesn't suck lol
I rake with most toe tap swings. I expect his to be really, really good.

Hope we eventually get an early 90s card from his Texas days complete with mustache and bouncy curls.

I don’t recall anyone at SDS ever revealing their Cubs fandom. Marlins, Mariners, Yankees, Twins, Athletics, White Sox, Padres, that’s all I remember.

One of them kinda has to be a marlins fan though, there would only be 5 of them otherwise

There is actually a video of his no doubt animation, complete with the hop and the little shuffle of the feet he did while rounding the bases.

Just dont get sawed off by a pitch. I heard that if his bat breaks you cannot use him for the rest of the game because he gets thrown out when the umpires see the cork.

Yeah but if there is less means they will cost more.

Do you know where this video was posted? The only footage that I saw was the leaked commercial and recent Legends trailer.

Was about to say...SWING? That matters almost as much as the stats, lol.
