Description

This game-used Louisville Slugger bat belonged to Rece Hinds, one of the most explosive power hitters to come through Louisville in recent years. The barrel is stamped “Rece Hinds – Cincinnati Reds,” while the knob is dated 08/23/24 and marked 34.5/32.0. The bat shows plenty of real game action, including ball marks, barrel scuffs, surface wear, and a heavily wrapped handle with colorful Lizard Skins grip tape.

Hinds was Cincinnati’s second-round pick in the 2019 MLB Draft and made his Major League debut in July 2024 after being called up from Louisville. He wasted absolutely no time announcing himself, blasting five home runs in his first six MLB games and posting a 1.050 OPS over his 2024 big-league stint. In 2025, he was named Louisville’s Most Valuable Player and an International League All-Star after hitting .302 with a .922 OPS for the Bats. baseballsavant.com

Certified authentic as game-used by the Louisville Bats.

This bat has everything you want in a game-used piece: a recognizable player, visible wear, clear player markings, and a direct connection to a guy known for hitting baseballs a very long way. If your collection needs a little more exit velocity, Rece Hinds has you covered.
