Description

This game-used Louisville Bats New Era 59FIFTY cap was worn by right-handed pitcher Julian Garcia and features one of Louisville’s more eye-catching alternate mascot designs. The cap has a bright red crown, dark navy bill, and a large embroidered flying bat character swinging a bat across the front. Inside, “Garcia” is handwritten beneath the crown, directly identifying the cap to Julian Garcia, and the fitted size is 7 1/8. Visible wear and staining beneath the bill add exactly the kind of authentic game-used character collectors like to see.

Garcia’s route to Cincinnati was anything but ordinary. Originally drafted by the Philadelphia Phillies in 2016, he spent years in affiliated baseball before continuing his career in the independent ranks. After a strong 2025 season with the Kansas City Monarchs, the Reds signed him, assigned him to Louisville, and eventually promoted him to Cincinnati in June 2026 for his Major League debut at age 31.

Certified authentic as game-used by the Louisville Bats.

This alternate-logo cap is a particularly fun piece because it combines genuine player use with a Louisville Bats design that immediately jumps off the shelf. For Reds fans, Bats collectors, or anyone who appreciates an underdog baseball story with some actual clubhouse wear attached, this Julian Garcia cap deserves a serious look.
