Do you think this is a photomatch?

I think you may have a match. Is there those pronounced ball marks on the barrell as seen in the picture? It's big and if they are on your bat, then yes. I always liked Ryan in Cleveland and we would love to have him back.

Getty says the image was taken on 5/25/2008, but I just watched Ludwick's PAs and I never saw him break a bat. Maybe I'm missing it. I was hoping to find some more photos you could use to verify it.

I'm saying no match, if you look at the photo of him the pointy tip of the cracked peice if about 4-5 inches from the silver rawlings stripe in the action picture, if you look at the pointy part of the cracked peice on your bat its about 2 inches from the rawlings stripe. Maybe it just looks like its farther from the stripe in the action photo, idk.

I also saw that but thought it may have just been the angles of the photo and reflection. Considering the way he finishes his swing, he may end up breaking bats with that same general fracture pattern more frequently than most guys.

Bubbrubb25 is right. The crack length isn't the same. Good call.

Crack length is longer in pic for sure.
