Someone is trying to sell me this kris Bryant game used bat from his Arizona fall league days. I was all in until i saw the photo showing blue tape on the handle. I've never seen Kris use any kind of tape on his bats, can anyone confirm this bat was used by him? I know its his bat from the chandler ID number but I;m thinking this had to be used by another player. Let me know your thoughts!

To me it looks like fresh blue tape that is unusually high on the handle. Almost like it was applied to hide a dangerous crack since it was now a souvenir.

so just found out someone else is buying the bat, I am glad I didn't pull the trigger. I made a few comments to the kid about how kris didn't use tape and that this was def used by a random minor league player and he all but agreed with me. So he knows its not used by him but was advertising it that way. Should have known it was too good to be true at the price he was asking. Feel bad for the potential buyer who is gettign ripped off.

May I ask where this bat was being offered for sale at? I have never seen a Bryant bat with tape on it either.
