The lefty is a fan-favorite known for his energy, celebration, and clutch hitting. He’s also coming off one of his strongest seasons, where he hit .295/.353/.462 (.816 OPS) with 20 home runs, 29 doubles, 92 RBIs, and 30 stolen bases. The 30 steals are remarkably impressive for a guy his size.
Naylor hasn’t gotten much hobby love, at least not yet. Only three cards of his have cracked $1K. But now that the ink is dry with Seattle, his cards may be poised for a big pop, including the four below.

The above Naylor autographed rookie card, a BGS 9.5, is his highest selling card to date, which sold for $1,126 back in April, 2018. The red refractor is serial numbered to just 5 with the clean blue-ink autograph. There are also gold refractor versions of this card serial numbered to 50, and one of which sold in August for $800.
After many seasons of team hopping, Naylor has locked in five seasons with a Seattle squad that looks to be a perfect fit. His cards have some momentum and strong upside potential heading into 2026, especially if he can match or exceed the numbers he put up this past season.
