With an infusion of creativity from the new official batmakers of MLB<\/a>, bats are serving as a blank canvas for Players\u2019 Weekend 2025. <\/p>\n

Bat designs reached a new level in 2023 with Bryson Stott\u2019s pencil bat<\/a>, but that was just the beginning.<\/p>\n

The 2025 iteration of Players\u2019 Weekend will feature a few common themes showcasing player passions and inspirations on various gear. Here\u2019s a preview of some of the best examples of each.<\/p>\n

Kansas City Royals rookie Jac Caglianone won\u2019t be playing this weekend, but he is receiving a bat painted to look like an old pack of baseball cards, highlighting his passion for collecting.<\/p>\n

Continuing the food theme, the New York Yankees\u2019 Jasson Dominguez dedicated his bat to his love for avocados. <\/p>\n

A TikTok in the offseason<\/a> showed Bryce Harper understanding his assignment as a Phillie by eating a homemade cheesesteak to celebrate the Eagles\u2019 Super Bowl run, and now he\u2019s swinging a cheesesteak during Players\u2019 Weekend.\u00a0<\/p>\n

One of the more sentimental approaches to the off-field theme is sporting kids\u2019 artwork on the bat. Knox Bregman designing his dad Alex\u2019s bat and Beckham and Tatum Turner did the art for their dad Trea\u2019s bat. Turner is adding a Lego bat since his kids are fond of the plastic bricks. Freddie Freeman joins the prideful dads with his three RCKLESS Marucci bats with his kids\u2019 names on the barrel. <\/p>\n

Following an incident earlier this season<\/a> where a Chicago White Sox fan heckled the Diamondbacks\u2019 Ketel Marte by referencing his late mother, his bat features a photo of her with him in a heart, surrounded by purple flowers on the sweet spot.<\/p>\n

The Nationals\u2019 CJ Abrams embraces his \u201cAlien\u201d nickname with a vibrant bat, while the Red Sox\u2019 Roman Anthony goes all-in on his Roman Empire. Another favorite in the nickname category is the Royals\u2019 Vinnie \u201cPasquatch\u201d Pasquantino, which lends itself to a regal interpretation.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Behind the dish for the Mariners will be Cal Raleigh wearing catcher\u2019s gear that shows his appreciation for his friends and family who have been there from the start. His chest protector features baseball cards of his closest friends on the outside, and on the inside, two people: his girlfriend, Hannah Shimek, and his Rawlings rep, Steve Cohen, held up by a hand.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Other notable bats to watch for in the Little League Classic include Dom Canzone\u2019s Charizard, Mitch Garver\u2019s \u201cGarv Sauce\u201d nickname in literal form.\u00a0<\/p>\n
