Ryan Howard Rookie bat
Does anyone know if Ryan Howard ever used a diablo bat during his rookie year? There is one on ebay and I may be interested but can't find any pics of him using one or any documentation of his ever using one. I saw mostly sam bats during his rookie year and Marucci thereafter.....any thoughts??

Re: Ryan Howard Rookie bat
I have not viewed the bat on ebay. It has been my experience with Diablo bats that they are probably BP bats. I am told Howard was given bats by Diablo to use but he will not use them in a game because he has endorsements with Marucci and other companies? Not sure how true that is but just a thought. I have a Diablo Howard myself but advertise it as a BP.

I have seen probably 10-15 Diablo BLOOD RED bats advertised on eBay and other places over the past 3 years...and almost all of them were listed as BP bats - or had green ink transfers (from BP balls) on them.
I was interested in buying one last year for a friend, but after researching a little, I decided that the best bet is to buy a Marucci - or a Black M9 LS from earlier in his career. Just my opinion - I am not an expert on Howard by any means.Dave

Re: Ryan Howard Rookie bat
Agreed...I own one of the blood red Diablos and it's definitely a BP bat-hammered,but a BP bat (green ball marks) nonetheless.And I never have been able to find a pic of him using one in a game...
