Thank you for looking. This is a game-used bat from Kensuke Kondo, who is said to be the strongest hitter in NPB and a member of Samurai Japan, currently with the SoftBank Hawks, during his time with the Nippon-Ham Fighters. It has the NPB mark. As I did not receive it directly from Mr. Kondo, I do not know the year of manufacture, period of use, material, balance, etc. I cannot answer questions about the product. I received it through an acquaintance, but I am listing it for collection organization. There are scratches and ball marks from use, but no cracks or splits. As it has the official NPB mark, it can be used in official games for university baseball, industrial league baseball, and high school baseball. We ask for your consideration if you understand that this is a used item, a second-hand item, and will be shipped with simple packaging. #KensukeKondo #SoftBankHawks #NipponHamFighters #WBC #SamuraiJAPAN #SamuraiJapan #NPB #BattingChampion #TripleCrown #ProfessionalBaseball #ProfessionalBaseballIssued #ProfessionalBaseballPlayerIssued Equipment compliant with regulations...
