MLB debut players will have special patches on jerseys

KIFI

NEW YORK (AP) — Players making their big league debuts will be especially marked this season. Major League Baseball announced before openers that players making their first appearances will wear debut patches on their jerseys. After a player appears in his first game, the patch will be authenticated and placed on a Topps baseball card as part of an agreement reached by MLB and the business wing of the players’ association with Fanatics Collectibles, a division of Fanatics that acquired the trading card company Topps last year. One card with the patch will be available for each player.
