One of the most exciting rookie cards in 2026 Bowman Chrome — the Mojo Refractor parallel numbered /172 features the iconic geometric kaleidoscopic prismatic pattern on one of the hottest young arms in the American League. Connelly Early burst onto the scene in 2025 as one of the most impressive rookie pitching debuts in recent Red Sox history.
The card back tells a remarkable story. Born April 3, 2002 in Midlothian, Virginia, Early was drafted by Boston in the 5th round of the 2023 draft (151st overall) after honing his craft at the University of Virginia. He rose quickly through the system, earning Eastern League All-Star honors with a dominant 7-2, 2.51 ERA campaign before his MLB callup. In his first Boston outing on 9/9, he immediately impressed, and his 2025 MLB debut line reads like a veteran’s: 2.33 ERA, 1.09 WHIP, 29 strikeouts in 19.1 innings. The arsenal features a 97 mph fastball paired with a sharp slider and sweeper, with deception created by his riding fastball delivery.
The postseason moment sealed his status: Early was named the 2025 AL Wild Card Game 3 starter, fanning six in a scoreless postseason debut — an extraordinary moment for a rookie. Baseball America ranks him the #3 prospect in the Red Sox organization. Only 172 Mojo Refractors exist. A prime grading candidate and a must-have for Red Sox collectors and pitching prospect chasers.
