After a series of injuries decimated the team’s catching corps, the New York Mets called up Jose Reyes from Norfolk. In 69 games, the rookie batted north of .300 including a grand slam home run, all before he turned 20. This rookie season Rawlings 456S model bat shows heavy use and is un-cracked. Reyes’ number “7” has been written on the knob in black marker and the presence of black ink transfers on the barrel indicate that this bat was likely used in the Dominican Republic Winter League. This bat comes with a LOA from PSA/DNA (1B15659), who have graded this bat a perfect GU 10 for the game use.
