Description

Bring a little ninth-inning electricity to the collection with this Official Major League Baseball signed by former Cincinnati Reds closer Alexis Díaz. A 12th-round Reds draft pick out of Puerto Rico, Díaz made his Major League debut in 2022 and quickly developed into one of Cincinnati’s top bullpen arms. His breakout 2023 season earned him a spot on the National League All-Star team, and he has also represented Puerto Rico in the World Baseball Classic. Díaz is the younger brother of fellow Major League closer Edwin Díaz, making late-inning pitching something of a family business. MLB.com

The ball features Díaz’s autograph prominently in dark ink along with the Official Major League Baseball markings and Commissioner Robert D. Manfred Jr. facsimile signature. Díaz also spent time with the Louisville Bats during his Reds career, including Triple-A appearances in 2025. MLB.com

Certified authentic by the Louisville Bats.

A strong pickup for Cincinnati Reds fans, Louisville Bats collectors, Puerto Rican baseball fans, or anyone who appreciates pitchers who are handed the ball when the game gets interesting. Bid confidently and give this signed baseball a spot in your starting lineup.
