It doesn’t get any better than this – a game used bat that is photo-matched to a specific home run – and a game-tying home run to boot! On May 25th, 2015 Kris Bryant used this Victus bat in his 1st inning at bat against Washington's Tanner Roark. The Nats had jumped to an early 1-0 lead and Bryant rode a Roark pitch to deep left-center field to tie the game up. Photographs taken during that at bat show him using this very bat. Bryant also used this very same bat the next day on May 26th for his seventh career home run as he launched another game-tying home run with his lead off shot off Nationals pitcher Aaron Barrett in the eight inning.
The Victus KB17T shows outstanding use with a handle crack. Many ball marks with stitch impressions are on the barrel along with blue ink transfers and cleat marks. There is the impression of a weighted batting donut and a moderate coat of Grip Stick on the handle. A signature on the barrel in black marker completes this impeccably provenance bat. This bat comes with a Letter of Authenticity from PSA/DNA (1B11819) who have indicated in their letter that this bat was used on May 25 and 26th of 2015, and have graded this bat a GU 9.
