Scarce pitcher's bat game used by Clayton Kershaw during the 2019 Los Angeles Dodgers season. The Rawling 'CK22' professional model bat is un-cracked and exhibits evidence of excellent use. Very slight checking (grain swelling) from repeated ball contact is on the back barrel. Several ball marks are visible on the left, back, and front barrel. Ball marks include blue ink transfers and white leather scuffs. Cleat marks can be seen on the left barrel. There is a moderate coat of pine tar on the handle, and dye transfer from batting gloves is in the tar on the lower handle. Kershaw's player number (22) is on a Schutte sticker affixed to the knob.
 

The bat has been authenticated by MLB Authentication Services, and their hologram (JD679391) is affixed to the front barrel. The bat exhibits excellent use and possesses identifiable player use characteristics. PSA/DNA has given this bat the highest possible GU 10 grade. The final photograph shows a near-perfect potential photomatch. Kershaw plans to retire this postseason after eighteen years with the Dodgers. Kershaw will finish his career with an MVP, three Cy Young Awards, and three World Series titles.
