Description

Item: 33.5” Pro Birch (CES1) wood bat stamped CHRISTIAN ENCARNACION-STRAND (manufacturer stamp and production code visible). Knob shows player number sticker “33.” Photos show the actual bat included in this lot.

Condition: Heavy game-used — extensive barrel contact/paint transfer, heavy cleat/ball marks, multiple surface cracks and splits along the barrel (see close-ups), finish wear and paint loss, and evidence of repair tape on the handle. This is a structural, game-used bat best suited as a display/collector piece — not for further play. Display stands shown in some photos are NOT included. Please note all items are “as-is where-is.”

Provenance: Bat is player-stamped with Christian Encarnacion-Strand identifier and includes visible game markings and a numbered knob sticker consistent with team assignment. All photos are of the actual item.
