Description

This Official Major League Baseball is signed by Cincinnati Reds catcher Tyler Stephenson, one of the most recognizable homegrown players in the organization and a former Louisville Bat on his road to the big leagues.

The Reds selected Stephenson 11th overall in the first round of the 2015 MLB Draft, making the Georgia prep standout one of Cincinnati’s top catching prospects from the start. He worked his way through the Reds farm system, including time with Triple-A Louisville, before making his Major League debut in 2020. Since then, Stephenson has become an important part of Cincinnati’s lineup and catching corps, bringing right-handed power and plenty of presence behind the plate.

The baseball features Stephenson’s autograph prominently in blue ink, complete with his number “37,” and carries the Official Major League Baseball markings with Commissioner Robert D. Manfred Jr.’s facsimile signature.

Certified authentic by the Louisville Bats.

Catchers already have the toughest job on the field, so we’ll make your part easy: bid, win, and give this signed baseball a proper home in your Reds or Louisville Bats collection.
