Shohei Ohtani 50/50 At Bat Game Used Baseball Pitch Before Home Run MLB Auth
$99,995.00
Presented is an Official Rawlings Major League Baseball (Manfred Jr.) from Shohei Ohtani’s historic 50/50 home run/stolen base record breaking at bat on September 19, 2024. This game used ball was directly involved in the pitch immediately before Ohtani’s milestone.
According to official MLB data, the ball corresponds to the pitch before the swing that changed it all:
Mike Baumann threw his 11th pitch of his appearance which was an 87.8 mph knuckle curve that bounced into the dirt. Gavin Lux scored, and Andy Pages advanced to third. Marlins pitcher Baumann was so rattled by Ohtani that he threw it right into the dirt… and he should have kept doing so. On the very next pitch, Ohtani took Baumann yard to opposite left field, becoming the first player ever to record 50 home runs and 50 stolen bases in a single season.
This ball is MLB-authenticated and comes with an attached hologram featuring a unique code that can be verified on MLB.com. It shows clear marks from being thrown in the dirt, making it an incredible piece of baseball history.
The actual home run ball sold for over four million dollars.
