Posada swinging a Mizuno

[Masimen]

I have noticed the past week or so that Jorge Posada has been using a Mizuno bat. I know this is a long a shot but has anyone been able to notice if it is a Matsui bat or if he is using one of his own model? Never seen him use Mizuno before. I have been looking on Getty, but there aren't any pictures where you can make out the barrel.

Steve,
Its more than likely a Matsui bat as Posada has been known to use
Matsui's bats from time to time.
Here is a picture of a Matsui bat used by Posada that we handled
a couple of years back.
Thanks again for the jersey..

Here's the best screenshot I could get of the barrel.......it's pretty hard to read.

Hey Kyle, thanks for the effort.

Picture from Jully 22nd shows that the bat broke so it may hit the open market sometime soon

Great screen shots. I have seen him using a Mizuno as recently as yesterday which means he is really digging the Matsui's and is going back for more after he breaks one or he got some of his own. With a little luck I will get my hands on one.

The Mizuno's he has been swinging of late are flame finished, Matsui swings a natural finished bat. I'm guessing these are Posada's own bats or possibly some pro stock models.

Good eye Nick. Plain as day and I didn't notice it. Thanks!
