Once the top overall prospect in baseball, Cristian Pache played briefly in Atlanta before being shipped to Oakland as the centerpiece of the deal that brought slugger Matt Olson to the Braves in March 2022.  Pache has struggled at the plate in the majors, but in his first 22 games with the Phillies he's batting a healthy .324.  Pache was acquired from the Athletics the day before opening day, and added to the active roster for the season's second game.  He missed 42 games from late April to mid-June with a knee injury.

Collectors will need to wait a little longer before seeing Pache on a Phillies baseball card, and he appears with the A's in the Topps flagship and Topps Heritage releases so far this year.
