PSA COLLECTOR'S CORNER
PSA Q & A Question: What is the difference between a professional model player bat and a Pro Stock bat?Answer: A professional model player bat is one that was ordered by the player for use and manufactured to that player's specs (weight, length, knob style, etc). These bats are the ones most desired by collectors because they feature the player's name on the bat and each bat was requested by that player. A Pro Stock bat is one that exhibits pro quality wood but is generic in the sense that it does not feature a player's name on the barrel since it was never ordered specifically for any player. These bats are generally ordered by teams for trial purposes and they may feature the model such as "C271" or "C161" on the barrel. The players may experiment with one style or another in hopes of finding the one that feels best in their hands. These bats are often used during spring training or batting practice but, in rare instances, could be used in a game. It is important to note that, in most cases, there is a big disparity in value between the two types of bats.
