Topps officials today confirmed that the player redeemable for the 2008 Topps Baseball Series 2 Red Hot Rookie Redemption #2 is Justin Masterson of the Boston Red Sox.

Masterson has crafted a remarkable success story through his first four starts, earning a 3-0 mark with a 2.59 ERA and limiting opposing hitters to a .169 batting average. He's allowed one run or less in three of those starts.

Throughout the remainder of the 2008 Major League Baseball season, Topps will announce the subjects for the 20-card Red Hot Rookie program. Collectors can find one of these cards randomly inserted into each Topps Series 2 Hobby box. The cards can be redeemed online at www.topps.com/redemption.

The cards will be printed on Topps Chrome Refractor technology and are expected to begin shipping to collectors first week of November.
