Description

This is the real deal: a game-used Louisville Bats alternate cap worn by right-handed pitcher Zach Maxwell, complete with his last name handwritten inside the crown. The striking red-and-black New Era 59FIFTY cap features the Bats’ special “Los Murciélagos” identity, highlighted by the bold gold bat-inspired logo on the front. The interior is marked size 7 5/8 and shows the kind of use you want to see on genuine game-worn memorabilia.

Maxwell is a towering 6-foot-6 right-hander in the Cincinnati Reds organization who reached Triple-A Louisville in 2024. He opened the 2025 season with the Bats as one of Cincinnati’s Top 30 prospects and earned his first Major League promotion to the Reds in August 2025. He returned to Louisville in 2026 while continuing to shuttle between Triple-A and Cincinnati as a hard-throwing bullpen option. MLB.com

Unlike a souvenir cap pulled from a team store, this one actually belonged in the clubhouse. The handwritten “Maxwell” inside gives it that unmistakable player-used character collectors love, while the colorful alternate design makes it a standout display piece even before you get to its on-field history.

Certified authentic as game-used by the Louisville Bats.

For Reds fans, Louisville Bats collectors, game-used memorabilia hunters, or anyone who prefers their baseball keepsakes with a little dirt and clubhouse history attached, this is a terrific opportunity to own an actual piece of the game.
