Game used and signed by Carlos Beltran during the 2009 season with the New York Mets, this CTG Maple "342" professional model bat shows light use, preserving strong visual appeal. The switch-hitting outfielder known for his elite all-around production will be enshrined in Cooperstown this summer as part of the 2026 Baseball Hall of Fame Induction class.

Beltran spent 2009 in the middle of the Mets order during a career that ultimately spanned nine All-Star selections, three Gold Gloves, and a reputation as one of the most well-rounded players of his generation both offensively and defensively. Professional model bats ordered to a player's specifications like this one offer collectors a more direct, personal connection to the player than standard retail bats, and light use is often prized by collectors seeking a clean, display-friendly example that still carries verified game history. His signature adds a further layer of authentication and desirability, combining game use with direct player certification in a single piece.

As Beltran eagerly awaits enshrinement into the fabled halls of Cooperstown on July 27, his game-used bats from prime Mets years remain a steady and appealing category. This lot offers an attractive, lightly used example paired with a genuine signature authenticated by renowned autograph expert Steve Grad.
