Offered here is a 2013 Nolan Arenado game-used and signed Marruci CD-Custom Cut-M maple professional model bat from his rookie season. The bat is un-cracked showing outstanding evidence of use. Ball contact marks, baseball stitch impressions, cleat impressions, and batting donut marks are all present. A light coat of Mota stick covers the handle. Date of manufacture, bat length, bat weight, and Arenado's number are all stamped into the knob. Bat length is 33 7/8". Weight is 31.1 oz. Arenado has signed in the barrel in 7-8/10 silver felt tip marker and added his number "28".
Arenado had a solid rookie season in 2013 hitting .267 with 10 HR and 52 RBI in 133 games for Colorado, and he has steadily impoved each year to become one of, if not, baseball's best overall third baseman. He has won the National League Gold Glove in each of his six MLB seasons. Over the previous four campaigns, he has led the N.L. in home runs three times and won two RBI titles. His 158 homers and 503 RBI are tops in the Majors over that span. Great opportunity to acquire the rookie gamer of a bonified superstar who appears well on his way to Cooperstown enshrinement.
LOA from John Taube of PSA/DNA with a perfect 10 game-used grade. Additional PSA/DNA LOA for Arenado's autograph.
