Description
OFFICIAL and Authenticated: this is the REAL Thing (and donated directly from Boston Red Sox to "H2O Planet" for this Auction). This is an official MLB Baseball 8x10 signed Photo, autographed by Garrett Whitlock, Pitcher for the Yankees and Boston Red Sox. (It has the official "MLB Hologram Seal" and mailing envelope). In 2017, during his sophomore year of college, Whitlock was selected by the New York Yankees in the 18th Round of the MLB Draft (while attending University of Alabama). He made his professional debut with the Gulf Coast League Yankees and then promoted to the Tampa Yankees and Trenton Thunder. In 2020, Boston Red Sox selected him in the Rule 5 Draft - and he made his debut in 2021, in a game against the Baltimore Orioles (striking out 5 Batters and allowing no runs). In 2022, he signed a 4-year, $18 million dollar contract with the Red Sox - but went on the Injured List in 5/2024 due to a torn ulner ligament (which may end his career - making this one of the last autographs, EVER - that he may sign as a Red Sox Pitcher). He signed this item on 2/18/24 (see screenshot of the MLB Verification). This item can be shipped nationwide to the Winning Bidder - or picked up for free after the Auction in Enfield, Connecticut. Unique Gift for any Sports Fan!
