Authenticated to the specific date of April 19, 2019, this Marucci 'ES7' professional model bat was wielded by Eugenio Suarez during what became his a career-high tying 49-homer campaign with the Cincinnati Reds—and remarkably, he homered in his first plate appearance with this very bat. Fresh off helping lead his Venezuelan team to its first World Baseball Classic title, the right-handed slugger now with the Seattle Mariners is poised for another fine season as the 33-years-old closes in on the elite 400 HR Club in the coming years.
MLB Authentication (serial JD588487) locks this piece to a single game, a level of documentation that significantly elevates value. The Reds outlasted the Padres in San Diego by a score of 3-2 in extra innings, but it was the right-handed slugger from Venezuela who got it started for Cincy with a solo blast off Matt Strahm with one out in the top of the first. In the top of the 11th, after the Reds took a 3-2 lead, Suarez grounded out to fellow third baseman Manny Machado, breaking this bat in the process.
Suarez's 49-homer campaign placed him among the elite power hitters of that season (trailing only Pete Alonso's 53 for the MLB lead), and a bat from such a milestone year with a documented home run on its CV makes it a coveted offering. The Marucci brand has become synonymous with top-tier professional players, and the 'ES7' model is Suarez's personal specification. The pounded gamer has a heavy coating of Mota Stick on the handle that has reddened from the color of Eugenio's batting gloves. The barrel is covered in ball contact marks, highlighted by five strong blue paint transfers from the Official MLB manufacturing stamp. A long crack runs from the lower handle to near the 'M' center brand. A Reds decal sticker is affixed to the knob end with Suarez's jersey number "7" and a 150th Anniversary logo of baseball's first MLB franchise.
The MLB Auth. cert sticker is affixed to the barrel. For the game-used bat enthusiast seeking a piece with a verified home run connection, this bat is as compelling as it gets.
