2021 Chachi #35

Nick Maton had a standout spring training and earned a promotion on April 19th when Ronald Torreyes landed on the Covid-protocol injured list.  He's been more than a pleasant surprise, making key starts at second base and shortstop while filling in for Jean Segura and Didi Gregorius who have both had their share of injuries so far in 2021.

Maton's baseball card appearances have been sparse to date.  By my tally, he appeared in four minor league team sets between 2017 and 2019, and had no baseball cards during the lost 2020 season.  He made his mainstream baseball card debut in the recently released 2021 Bowman set and I was disappointed when his two home run game against the Blue Jays on May 16th didn't result in a Topps Now card.
