This Rawlings bat was used by Jake Arrieta during the 2015 season, and apparently used a lot. The 33.75" bat is everything you would want in a gamer, with heavy pine tar over the center brand, with the back of the barrel covered with ball transfer marks, stitch marks and grain swelling. The handle has custom tape on it, with a handle crack running all the way past the label and another tape wrap to keep it all together. Arrieta's jersey number "49" is written on the end of the barrel, while the end of the knob has "04/23/15" and "Arrieta" stamped into it, with "49" and "HR13" written in black marker, indicating it may have been used by someone else since Arrieta had six home runs in his major league career. The bat arrives with Fanatics and MLB holograms affixed on the end of the barrel, indicating it was used on August 20, 2015.
