Shohei Ohtani’s Record-Breaking Dodgers Home Run Ball Up For Auction

The historic ball from Los Angeles Dodgers star Shohei Ohtani’s 176th career home run is up for auction.

The fan that caught the record-breaking ball is selling the collectible via Heritage Auctions, according to TMZ Sports. The ball is projected to sell for as much as $200,000. Bidding officially opens later this month on Aug. 23.

The price tag for the Dodgers’ antique is no surprise given the celebrity status of Ohtani. A baseball card that featured Ohtani and legendary slugger Babe Ruth recently sold for more than $110,000.

Ohtani surpassed Hideki Matsui for the highest career home run total by a Japanese-born player in MLB on April 21.
