Among the game’s elite ball-bashers, Mike Trout used this un-cracked, 33.5-inch, 33.3 ounce Old Hickory J143 model bat (labeling period 2011) during his abbreviated 2011 debut campaign, knocking five home runs with 16 RBI in his first 40 games.
Cupped-end bat displays evidence of outstanding use with dark blue ink transfers at the top of the label and around the barrel near Trout’s name and “33.5 Pro Maple J143” branding. Bat contains a moderate amount of Mota Stick near the “Old Hickory” labeling on the upper handles and on the lower handle and knob that has been taped in a spiral wrap to enhance the grip. Trout signed the bat in bold blue sharpie on its barrel with a “2011 G/U” inscription; comes with PSA/DNA LOA certification#1B08279 for the bat and#X52524 for the signature as wells as Anderson Athletics LOA signed by Trout.
