Panini America continues signing new baseball draft picks

Panini America's baseball team has four new members.

The company revealed this week that it has signed deals with the No. 1 overall pick in this year's MLB Draft -- former LSU star Paul Skenes who went to the Pirates -- as well as the No. 6 pick Jacob Wilson (A's), No. 16 pick Bryce Elridge (Giants) and No. 17 pick Enrique Bradfield Jr. (Orioles).

"We are continuing to add tremendous talent to our athlete roster, and this group of elite baseball players are the latest great additions," said Jason Howarth, Senior VP of Marketing and Athlete Relations. "We are pleased that fans will have the opportunity to collect their initial products as professional athletes."

No. 2 pick Dylan Crews previously signed a deal with the company and in all more than half of this year's first-round picks now have deals as the company continues to produce cards using prospects and past MLB stars but no current MLBPA members.

They'll all debut in 2023 Elite Extra Edition as well as other baseball releases as they arrive, according to the company.
