It's a model W166 and measures 35" long, 32.5 oz. with a round barrel and natural finish on professional grade Ash. The bat matches all factory records and exhibits moderate use, with ball marks, stitch marks and bat rack marks throughout the uncracked barrel. Williams' uniform number "9" is written on the knob in vintage marker, with a black felt tip pen signature on the barrel, which is authenticated by JSA with a full LOA. The bat is graded by MEARS and received a grade of A8, putting it in the upper echelon of all Williams bats. The bat received two extra points for use and another point for provenances to arrive at the final grade.
