Ryan Howard is among baseball’s most imposing figures at the plate. Pitchers dread the sight of the 6-foot, 4-inch behemoth wagging his bat in the air as he awaits their next offering. The former Rookie of The Year and NL MVP used this two-toned maple X-Bat bat as he continued his campaign of terror against the opposition. This uncracked bat is simply pounded. Ball marks, deeply embedded stitch marks, ink transfers and rack marks decorate the hitting surface. The handle shows a moderate coating of Mota stick. Howard’s number “6” appears on the knob end in black paint pen and “32.5” appears on the barrel end in silver marker. Howard has signed the bat in silver with his added notation “6” in silver marker. An ideal early career Howard gamer in every respect.
