Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Cody Bellinger used this Louisville Slugger C243M model during the 2017 season when he won the National League Rookie of the Year Award. Bellinger’s 2017 rookie season was spectacular as he belted 39 home runs and drove in 97 runs as he helped lead the Dodgers to their first World Series appearance in nearly 30 years. This bat displays outstanding game use and is un-cracked. There are numerous ball marks, stitch impressions, blue ink transfers and cleat imprints present on the barrel. There is also an impression of a weighted donut and the handle has been taped in a spiral pattern with blue and black Lizard Skins tape to enhance the grip. A light coating of pine tar is on the upper handle and the knob has a Dodgers’ Schutte sticker with Bellinger’s number “35” in red. This bat comes with a LOA from PSA/DNA (1B13822) for the game use and has been graded a near-perfect GU 9.5.
