BUY JESUS LUZARDO ROOKIE CARDS ON EBAY
Jesus Luzardo (9/30/1997) was drafted by the Washington Nationals in the 3rd round of the 2016 MLB June Amateur Draft from Stoneman-Douglas High School. He made his MLB debut on 9/11/2019 against the Houston Astros pitching 3 innings with 2 K’s and letting up 1 run over 3 innings of work.
Jesus stands 6 ft tall and uses a waist-high leg kick and will vary the duration of the leg kick at times to try and throw off the hitter’s timing. We feel Luzardo is going to take the next step in 2022 and is ready for the big time.
Luzardo has four quality pitches and can ratchet his fastball up to 100 mph when needed. If you take away his two worse starts in 2020 his ERA would have been a dazzling 2.93.

Despite getting drafted by Washington, Luzardo never played a game for the Nationals. Instead, he was traded along with Sheldon Neuse and Blake Treinen to the Oakland Athletics in exchange for Sean Doolittle and Ryan Madson.
He spent a few years in Oakland before getting shipped off to Miami. We expect his career to really take off with the Marlins.
Jesus Luzardo might not be the first MLB player you think to invest in when it comes to rookie cards. However, his cards are still relatively cheap, and you have the opportunity to scoop them up before he has a big breakout season.

Luzardo Rookie Card: Buyers Rating and Investment Outlook
We feel Jesus Luzardo has the stuff to be one of the better pitchers in baseball and maybe the best at some point. A’s manager Bob Melvin once said “I think he takes an added step forward this year. I believe he’ll be an All-Star here at some point.” and we agree 100%.
However, he will not reach his potential with the A’s because he was traded to the Miami Marlins. The trade took place on July 28th, 2021, and was in exchange for Starling Marte and cash considerations.
He is off to a strong start in 2022, recording 12 strikeouts with the second-fewest pitches in a game in MLB history early in the season.
While he will not be setting records every game, we can expect him to put up a great performance in the 2022 season. If that comes to pass, his cards should spike in value.
