Former DeKalb County High School standout Steven Jennings will have his first “solo” professional baseball card soon.
Jennings is scheduled to appear in the Elite Extra Edition set estimated to be released December 12th. The long-established prospect brand highlights the next batch of rising Major League Baseball (MLB) stars. Jennings is a pitcher in the Pittsburg Pirates organization and recently completed his first professional league season.
Jennings’ card will be one of 200 in the set with multiple variations as well as an autographed version.
Tweaking the formula from 2017, each Hobby box of Elite Extra Edition should average eight autographs and two memorabilia cards. The set also has the company-exclusive players from the Dominican Prospect League.
Jennings first appearance on a professional card was late last year when he was on a two-player card insert set found in Bowman Draft.
The former DCHS right handed pitcher was selected by the Pirates in the Major League Baseball Draft as the 42nd overall pick and sixth into the second round in June, 2017. In June 2018 he was assigned to the Bristol Pirates.
