Promising pitcher LaMarr Hoyt finished with his MLB career with a 98-68 record, and just 127 plate appearances, as only the last two of his eight MLB seasons were in the National League. By the time Hoyt got around to using the offered 1986 game-used bat, he had off-the-field issues that continued in the ensuing off-season, putting an end to his career. With only two seasons of stepping up to the plate, Hoyt could not have used many bats, making this Rawlings-Adirondack Big Stick a rare prize for collectors of game-used bats. Hoyt made scant contact, batting .091. Some portion of his contact definitely came with this bat, as evidenced by the multiple contact marks on the barrel, and a crack on the handle. Hoyt’s uniform number “31” is written on both the end of the barrel and the knob, which is impressed with the model number “438B.” The accompanying full LOA from John Taube-PSA/DNA has assigned a grade of (GU 9) for this certified bat. Opening Bid $100.
