This Chandler CB243M maple baseball bat was game-used by Elly De La Cruz during 2026 Spring Training, representing among the earliest documented game-used artifacts from one of baseball's most electrifying young stars. The bat is produced by Chandler Bats in CB243M model specification, finished in a two-tone treatment with a glossy black barrel and knob set against a natural blonde/unfinished maple handle. The Chandler "C" logo in a holographic/iridescent finish is centered on the barrel, and the barrel face carries player-specific markings: "MODEL CB243M MAPLE / ELLY DE LA CRUZ / L5L3XP.1219.0121.26 33.5+30.5" in silver print — the specification string indicating the precise order details and weight/length specs.

The bat shows game-use characteristics including pine tar and handle wear, and a PSA/DNA hologram is affixed to the handle/barrel area. Authentication is provided by a PSA/DNA Taube LOA. The "26" in the specification string confirms the 2026 Spring Training dating. At just 22 years old, De La Cruz has established himself as a generational talent — capable of hitting for power, running the bases with elite speed, and playing multiple positions at an elite level. His game-used equipment represents some of the most sought-after new-era game-used artifacts currently in the hobby.
