Carlos Beltran singled in the bottom of the first inning against the Texas Rangers’ Martin Perez on June 22, 2013 with this bat. It is the same bat he used three days earlier to hit his 351st HR off Cubs pitcher Jeff Samardzija in the 6th inning. Photomatched and MLB Authenticated. The 1999 AL Rookie of the Year, Beltran has won two Silver Slugger Awards. Beltran cracked this bat later in the June 22 game. The bat is a white, Marucci “bone-rubbed” model. “Handcrafted For/ Carlos Beltran/Los15 Custom Cut – LDM” is engraved on the barrel. The knob bears a red No. 3 in blue background. Besides the crack on the handle that is wrapped in white tape, the bat shows evidence of heavy game use. The handle is covered in black pine tar. Several rack impressions and additional pine tar stains can be found from handle to label. The barrel holds several ball impressions and blue ink transfers. A MLB Authentication hologram (#EK375806) certifies the bats game use.
