Javy Baez has been swinging SSK for several years, dating back to his time with the Chicago Cubs. He swings a natural-colored JB9 Professional Edge model bat made with birch wood. His name is etched on the barrel above the model number and the date “2-26-24.” We are unsure what it’s meant to signify, but it may be the exact date that this specific bat was made for Baez.
The JB9 model features an end-loaded feel with a large barrel, giving hitters like Baez the best chance to square up the baseball. You can get his custom model in black birch or natural color maple on the SSK website for $150.
