Description

This one comes with serious prospect pedigree. This Official Major League Baseball is signed by Rhett Lowder, the Cincinnati Reds’ first-round selection and No. 7 overall pick in the 2023 MLB Draft. A standout at Wake Forest, Lowder put together a monster junior season with 15 wins, 143 strikeouts, and a 1.87 ERA while helping lead the Demon Deacons to the College World Series. MLB.com

Lowder climbed the Reds’ system quickly, reached Triple-A Louisville in August 2024, and was promoted from the Bats to make his Major League debut for Cincinnati on August 30, 2024. That rapid rise made him one of the more closely watched young arms in the organization. MLB.com

The baseball features Lowder’s bold signature in dark ink and carries the Official Major League Baseball markings with Commissioner Robert D. Manfred Jr.’s facsimile signature. It is a sharp piece for Reds fans, Louisville Bats collectors, Wake Forest supporters, or anyone who enjoys getting in early on a talented young pitcher.

Certified authentic by the Louisville Bats.
