Heritage Auctions is set to feature a piece of baseball history at its upcoming Summer Platinum Night Auction: the ball hit by Shohei Ohtani for his 176th career home run. This historic event not only broke the record for the most home runs by a Japanese-born player in MLB, surpassing Hideki Matsui, but also solidified Ohtani’s status as a once-in-a-century talent. The home run occurred during a game against the New York Mets at Dodger Stadium on April 21, 2024, where Ohtani's powerful swing sent the ball flying 423 feet into the right field pavilion.

This ball is not just a memento of a game; it represents a landmark achievement in the MLB and highlights Ohtani’s extraordinary dual capabilities as both a pitcher and hitter. Authenticated by Major League Baseball, the ball comes with a holographic sticker and a unique serial number that enthusiasts can look up to verify its authenticity and history.

Anticipated to fetch upwards of $200,000, the ball appeals not only to sports memorabilia collectors but also to those who appreciate significant sports achievements. This auction item promises to be a highlight of Heritage Auctions' summer event, offering collectors the chance to own a tangible piece of sports history tied to Shohei Ohtani, an athlete who continues to captivate and excite baseball fans around the world.
