Ronald Acuna, Jr. was just the shot in the arm the Atlanta Braves needed to return to the top of the National League East. Acuna belted 26 home runs and had 64 RBI as helped lead the Braves to a 92-70 record in 2018 and it earned the Braves first place in the NL East and garnered Acuna the National League Rookie of the Year.
Acuna, Jr. used this B45 LG1 model bat during the 2018 season. This bat displays outstanding game use and is un-cracked. There are numerous ball marks, stitch impressions and black ink transfers present on the barrel. The handle has a red with blue stripes and white stars LizardSkins grip with American flag decals to enhance the grip. There is a mark on the handle that identifies the face of the grain, which is a mandatory marking per Major League Baseball for all maple bats since January 2009. Acuna, Jr.’s number “13” is handwritten in silver marker on the knob and in black marker on the cupped top barrel. This bat comes with a LOA from PSA/DNA for the game use and has been graded a near-perfect GU 9.
