On June 5th and 6th, 2019 the Atlanta Braves were in PNC Park facing the Pittsburgh Pirates. During the June 5th game, in which this bat was photo matched to, Acuna hit a home run. During the June 6th game, in the top of the 3rd, the Braves centerfielder faced Pirates starter Chris Archer. Also using this bat, Acuna hit a single, his only hit in four at bats that night. Acuna would go on to hit .280 on the season along with 41 home runs and 37 stolen bases. His 2019 Louisville Slugger A181 model bat shows great game use with a handle crack. The barrel shows many ball marks and abrasions along with cleat imprints and ink transfers.
