Description

This Official Major League Baseball is signed by Edwin Arroyo, one of the Cincinnati Reds organization’s most exciting young infielders — and yes, he even added his No. 19 to the signature for a little extra collector appeal.

Born in Arecibo, Puerto Rico, Arroyo was selected by the Seattle Mariners in the second round of the 2021 MLB Draft before becoming a major piece of the blockbuster 2022 trade that sent Luis Castillo to Seattle. A slick-fielding switch-hitter with speed, range, and plenty of upside, Arroyo developed into one of Cincinnati’s premier prospects before reaching Triple-A Louisville. He opened the 2026 season with the Bats and made his Major League debut with the Reds on June 1, 2026. MLB.com

Arroyo made quite an impression with Louisville, batting .323 with a .945 OPS, 11 home runs and 34 RBI over his first 53 Triple-A games before earning that first call to Cincinnati. He has since bounced between Louisville and the Majors while continuing his development as part of the Reds’ young infield core. MLB.com

The baseball features Arroyo’s bold autograph in dark ink with “19” clearly incorporated beside the signature. Official Major League Baseball markings and Commissioner Robert D. Manfred Jr.’s facsimile signature appear on the opposite panel.

Certified authentic by the Louisville Bats.

For Reds fans, Bats collectors, Puerto Rican baseball fans, or anyone who likes grabbing the autograph before the player becomes a household name, this one checks a lot of boxes. Get your bid in before somebody else turns the double play.
