Inducted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame in 2007 on his first ballot, Gwynn’s legacy is one of unparalleled skill and dedication. Among the treasures that celebrate his illustrious career is a remarkable Rawlings 279S model bat, a testament to his prowess at the plate.

Specifications and Unique Features

This exquisite bat, crafted from ash wood, measures an impressive 33.5 inches and weighs 30.4 ounces. It remains uncracked, showcasing moderate use, a testament to its authenticity and connection to Gwynn’s time on the field. The player number “19,” synonymous with Gwynn, is inscribed on both the knob and the top of the barrel, further cementing its provenance.

The bat’s history is enriched by the removal of tape from the barrel, indicating its use during batting practice, a detail that adds depth to its story. Moreover, Gwynn’s signature graces the front barrel in black marker, and in our opinion, it rates an 8, adding a personal touch from the legend himself.
