The 125 refers to the wood quality, so it should be a decent-quality bat but it does not specify whether it's ash or maple. The R161 is the turning model, larger barrel with a 1'' thich straight handle. Milwawkee Brewers? Perhaps it's a bat ordered for the players, but that is strictly cosmetic and inconsequential. Louisville sells the ash version at around $30 a pop to the pros, and the maple probably closer to $50. The retail price for that model would be a bit higher as that's not a turning model that you commonly find @ a retail outlet. Hope this helps a bit Hiram
