90 out of 100 — our all-round score from the season line, his tools against the level, and how young he is for it.
His best base card asks $90, over the $69.88 that card has sold in.
Closest of his is Caleb Bonemer 2024 Bowman Draft Sapphire… at $5,520. Waiting on sales.
Our take
Strong prospect, expensive market.
Caleb Bonemer scores 90 out of 100 (#8 of the 7,922 we score), and the case rests on one thing: young for the level — +4.0y vs his level at Double-A — younger than 99% of the players there.
His core Bowman card has been selling at $52–87 off 1 confirmed sale.
The player is not the problem here; the entry is. Waiting for a reset costs nothing while the baseball case is intact.
The thing most likely to be wrong here: thin comp evidence — 2 confirmed sales in 90 days. Treat any value here as a single data point, not a price.
The signal
Young for the level
+4.0y vs his level at Double-A — younger than 99% of the players there.
Power: plus-plus
.293 ISO — isolated power — slugging minus batting average, so hits that go for extra bases Better than 95% at his level.
The case is strengthening
Baseball momentum 69/100 — ahead of the thesis. Read from his baseball alone — never from what his cards did.
Moved up and held it
Low-A to Double-A.
Premium position
SS — the bat does not have to carry the whole profile.
Plate discipline: plus
13.9% BB — walk rate — higher means he makes pitchers come to him Better than 81% at his level.
Why now
5 new copies listed this week
Fresh supply on this exact card. More choice, and more downward pressure.
What could go wrong
Thin comp evidence
2 confirmed sales in 90 days. Treat any value here as a single data point, not a price.
Benchmark not checklist-verified
His core card was identified from how raw base 1st bowman draft chrome auto sellers describe it, not from a checklist. The identity is likely, not established.
Asks above the sold band
Every live card of his we can price is asking more than these have actually sold for, so today's entry is at a premium.
What the hobby pays for him

The card that matters
A card-quality answer, not a price one. It does not change when a seller changes their mind.
2024 Bowman Draft 1st Auto CPA-CBO
Raw base 1st Bowman Draft Chrome Auto
The draft-class equivalent of the canonical auto — same card kind, other product line. Identified from 3 independent sellers describing it — likely, not established.
A card is never the one to own because it is numbered. Scarcity is a modifier on a vehicle, not a vehicle — a /25 of a card nobody collects is a rarer version of nothing.
Best value right now

No good entry today
The closest to fair is Caleb Bonemer 1st Bowman Refractor Auto 67!/499 CPA-CBO at $266, 281% over the $69.88 that copies of it have confirmed sold in. Nothing of his is currently below its own sold band.
That card at or under $69.88 delivered would be at the bottom of what it has actually sold for.

On the 20–80 scale every scouting report uses: 50 is average, and every 10 points is one standard deviation. Measured against 496 hitters at Double-A — measured against real players at the same level right now — not a scout's projection of what he becomes.

+4.0y vs his level
years younger than the median player at his level — positive is young for the level
The overall figure averages the 4 skill rows only. The box-score row and the age row are shown but deliberately left out of it — one is the result those skills produced, and the other is not a skill at all.
The argument
skills at the 69th percentile of the cohort, production at the 92th — his results run further ahead of his tools than 84% of the players he is measured against.
The stat line is doing the selling and the skills underneath it are not carrying it. Pay for the line and you are paying for the part that does not repeat.
How this is read: his skills average 69 and his production sits at 92, a gap of -23. That gap on its own means little — an average of several percentiles always sits nearer the middle than a single one — so it is ranked against the same figure computed the same way for the 496 players at his level we hold a full profile for, where it lands at the 16th percentile.
Will he get there?
Strong chance 8.0 / 10
- already at Double-A
- young for Double-A
- hitting well — 0.936 OPS in 237 PA (not ranked against his level)
This is an ordering score, not a percentage. We hold no outcome data and have run no backtest, so “a 93% chance of reaching the majors” would be a number we made up and you then spent money on. Built on 100% of what it wants to know.

Hitting better than last season even though the pitching got harder — .858 to .936 after moving up to Double-A. That is the shape of a breakout.

What his cards have sold for2 logged sales
Real completed sales only — nothing here is an estimate. These come from the scan: it asks eBay about listings it has already seen, and one that ends at a fixed price is recorded as a sale. That builds up over days. You can add one by hand below if you happen to know it, but you are not meant to be the price database.
Point at a dot to see that sale.
