ADDENDUM: The lot heading for this bat has changed. The bat dates to 2014 minor league season with the Lancaster Jet Hawks of the California League.
Carlos Correa used this bat in his final tune-up season in the minors with the Lancaster Jet Hawks of the California League before his 2015 call-up and subsequent American League Rookie of the Year campaign. At the beginning of the season the Houston Astros may not have foreseen a scenario in which they would feel inclined to promote their young highly touted 6'4" shortstop (drafted #1 overall in the 2012) to the Big Leagues. Yet after a a solid April and May that put them in front in the American League West management decided to make the call. Correa debuted on June 8 2015 and in his second game he hit a home run and stole a base. The stage was definitely not too big for the 20-year-old Puerto Rican. He continued the onslaught to the tune of an impressive .279/.345/.512 slash line with 14 HR 68 RBI 52 runs and 14 SB all while handling the toughest position on the field like a veteran. His physical presence and natural talent is reminiscent of a young A-Rod. The Astros went from 70-92 in 2014 to 86-76 in 2015 earning a Wild Card berth in the playoffs. Correa was a major reason for the turnaround and he'll be a fixture with their squad for years to come.
Correas 2014 MAX Bat Model BP5 model bat displays excellent use with a cracked handle. Ball marks and stitch impressions can be seen all over the barrel along with blue ink ball transfers and cleat imprints. Light pine tar and Mota stick have been added to the lower handle to enhance the grip. Length: 33.5 inches. Weight: 32.6 ounces.
Includes a LOA from Carlos Correa Sr. Additional LOA from PSA/DNA with an 8 game-used grade.
