Pete Alonso set the tone early on May 5, 2026, ripping a two-run double in the first inning as the Baltimore Orioles outlasted the Miami Marlins 9-7. This gray-and-red Victus bat was game-used by Alonso during that hard-fought road victory and eventually broke in live action. Its visible splinter and unmistakable signs of use preserve the physical toll of a bat that passed through the hands of one of baseball's premier power hitters. For Orioles fans and game-used collectors, this piece offers a tangible connection to Alonso's first season in Baltimore.
