What I find interesting, given that he obviously has become much more an elite hitter than elite pitcher, is that the cards showing him as a pitcher seem just as popular if not more so. Finally, with all the hoopla about him being a true two way player as a rookie, why are there so few RCs depicting him in both poses? You would think that would have been a natural choice for Topps etc.
His first card that depicts him both hitting and pitching is the 2013 Calbee D-07. It's also his first Calbee card and one of his earlier rookie cards from Japan.
