Is there any player whose first MLB card is an insert?

Yeah! NASCAR has a bunch of drivers that got an insert card before their RC was ever made. They even have drivers that were on cards before they were even racing.

This Rod Henderson card came to mind and so I looked... this was his first major release card and the same for the other three guys in that insert set: BJ Wallace, Todd Steverson, and Shannon Stewart.

I have this Louis Sockalexis card that is his "Rookie" 100 years or so after he played. Its not an insert though

Mike Potts has an autographed insert in 1996 Leaf Signature Series but never had an actual RC. https://www.tcdb.com/ViewCard.cfm/sid/712/cid/1866298/1996-Leaf-Signature-Series---Autographs-Bronze-NNO-Michael-Potts

Chin-Feng Chen has an insert in 2000 Bowman Chrome (July) but he is not included in the base set. His RC later appeared in 2000 Bownman Draft Picks & Prospects (November). https://www.tcdb.com/Person.cfm/pid/28347/col/1/yea/2000/Chin-Feng-Chen?sTeam=&sCardNum=&sNote=&sSetName=&sBrand=
