Jason Heyward rookie cards are the most sought after issues right now by baseball collectors all over America. The Atlanta Braves super young rookie Jason Heyward was the talk of the baseball world coming out of spring training in 2010. He had made the team and he actually hit a home run in his first major league at bat.
And now the Chicago Cubs pitcher Carlos Zambrano is in the history books. Zambrano will always be remembered as the pitcher that gave up Jason Heyward's first MLB homer.
It has been an eventful first week of Jason Heyward's young baseball career. After that home run that he hit off Zambrano, Heyward went into a tailspin and was something like 0-10 including a game where he struck out 4 times. But, the young kid seems to have rebounded as he has hit home runs in his last two ball games in San Francisco against the Giants. Here are Jason Heyward's career numbers after his first full week in the Major Leagues. He is batting .292 with 3 home runs and 8 RBI. He has 7 hits and has scored 5 runs. But, he has struck out 9 times. That is to be expected from such a young talent like Jason Heyward. But if he can cut down on his strike outs, he could possibly win the triple crown someday. He hits with power, and hits for average. A deadly combination for National League pitchers.
Jason Heyward has already attracted the attention of pitchers all over the National League as they are making adjustments and they now know he can kill any fastball. Just ask Carlos Zambrano.
