Marucci model Rizz48, from the 2022 season, is un-cracked and exhibits evidence of excellent use.  Several ball marks and ball stitch impressions are visible on all sides of the barrel.  Ball marks include blue ink transfers.  The handle has been taped approximately 11″ in a spiral pattern with Lizard Skins tape and there is a light coat of pine tar on the upper handle.  The noted weight of the bat includes the tape application.  The mark visible on the handle identifies the face grain of the bat.  This is a mandatory marking, per Major League Baseball, for all maple bats since January 2009.  The date of manufacture (04/28/22), Rizzo’s player number (48), the length (4) and weight (1.7) are stamped into the knob. The subject bat has been photo matched to Getty Image 1399089143, which shows Rizzo at the plate on May 24, 2022, to hit career home run #262.  Fanatics hologram (AA0116068) is affixed to the front barrel. The bat has been graded a PSA GU10. A great bat of the All Star 1st baseman!

The bat is accompanied by a PSA Letter of Authenticity.
