After parts of five-plus seasons with the New York Yankees and Miami Marlins, Ichiro Suzuki returned to where his career began and flourished – the Seattle Mariners. Ichiro spent his final two seasons with the Mariners in 2018 and for two games in 2019. Ichiro used this Mizuno Pro A model bat during the 2018 season. This bat displays outstanding game use and is un-cracked. There are many ball marks, stitch impressions, blue ink transfers and white leather scuff marks on the barrel. There is an impression of a weighted donut that is visible on the bat and Ichiro’s number “51” is stamped on the knob, along with “AH60”. There is a light coating of pine tar on the upper handle/lower barrel and Ichiro has signed his name in silver marker on the barrel inscribing “51” and “18 GU”. This bat comes with a LOA from Mill Creek Sports signed by Ichiro authenticating this bat’s game use to the 2018 season.
