After finally winning the MVP Award in 2014 after two consecutive runner-up finishes, Mike Trout continued his Hall of Fame output in 2015 and 2016. His relentless offensive numbers resulted in his second MVP Award in 2016, a mere two years after receiving his first one.
Used to rack-up his MVP numbers in 2016, Trout’s Old Hickory MT27 model bat was manufactured in 2015 but used during the following season. The bat is un-cracked and shows excellent use. Many ball marks with stitch impressions are visible on the barrel along with blue ink transfers and white leather ball scuffs. Cleat impressions are found on the barrel and the upper handle has a moderate coat of pine tar. The lower handle and knob has been taped with Lizard Skin to enhance the grip. The 2016 AL MVP has signed the barrel in silver pen adding “16 G/U”. This bat comes with a LOA from PSA/DNA (1B12512), who have graded this bat a perfect GU 10 for the game use and a LOA from Anderson Authentics for the signature.
