Nope. Not even one. The hand-eye coordination to play ball is a genetic legacy and is beyond rare. About 10,000 men have played MLB. Only a few hundred well enough to last 10+ seasons and be good enough to get into the HOF. Same is true of most sports' elite performers. I knew a fellow who was a pretty good amateur boxer until he got into a local Golden Gloves and got destroyed by a buzzsaw named "Hagler."
As for Ohtani cards, they aren't undervalued even now. They trade so regularly and consistently, and are tracked on multiple indices that are real time reporting on sales, that they are never
undervalued. Some of his cards, like some of any superstar's cards, may be better investments than others for future appreciation. Different question, really.
