This is stunning hyper-realistic drawing is featured on baseball cards in 2025 Topps Update Series (the final artwork as well as three “in-progress” images).

In this graphite drawing, Gunnar Henderson is captured mid-air, fully extended as he makes an impossible throw to first base. Suspended in motion, his body twists with power and precision, embodying the intensity and athleticism that have made him one of baseball’s most exciting young players.

Every detail is drawn by hand – from the dirt flying beneath his cleats to the tension in his arm as the ball leaves his hand. Airborne freezes the split-second beauty of the game – a moment of balance, chaos, and control – and transforms it into timeless art.

Perfect for Orioles fans, baseball enthusiasts, and collectors who appreciate raw motion and realism, this piece celebrates the relentless energy and artistry that define Gunnar Henderson and the game itself.
