Shohei Ohtani entered the Major Leagues as the 21st century version of Babe Ruth, putting up numbers that garnered him American League Rookie of the Year honors. An overpowering pitcher, great hitter, and incendiary base runner, Ohtani’s American debut made the 2018 season something special. Ohtani finished 2018 with a .285 batting average, 22 homers and 61 RBI in only 326 at bats while his pitching line was 4-2 with a 3.31 ERA and 63 strikeouts in 51.2 innings. This ASICS CA-S model bat was used by Ohtani during his 2018 rookie season and has been signed by the Angels sensation in silver marker. The bat comes with a LOA from PSA/DNA (1B16132) for the game use and has been graded a near-perfect GU 9.5, plus a LOA from JSA (Z67437) for the signature.
