Rob LI would call these autographs, particularly the printed version. Many players also use initials as signatures. Mark McGwire had a ball park signature which, for the most part, consists of a M and G.
I think it ultimately comes down to semantics. Some might also want to call these signatures or initials, particularly if they are part of a document. However, as an autograph collector, I would still call them autographs.
