Is there any greater luck than this.

The LA Times reported on the 24th (Korea time) 'Tani Shohei's home run ball in Game 4 of the NLCS was auctioned for $270,000. This is the highest price among Dodgers-related home run balls exhibited at the auction.

On the 18th, Ohtani played as the first hitter and starting pitcher in Game 4 of the NLCS against the Milwaukee Brewers at Dodger Stadium on the 18th of last month and played an all-time performance. He hit three home runs as a batter and two hits and 10 strikeouts in six innings as a pitcher.

Ohtani, who hit a leadoff home run in the first inning for the 76th time in postseason history, hit an out-of-the-field home run in the bottom of the fourth inning with a 3-0 lead. It was this off-the-shelf home run that went up for auction.

At the time, Ohtani hit an 89.3-mile cutter that penetrated right-hander Chad Patrick's body to go over the top roof of the stands. It had a shooting angle of 33 degrees, a batting speed of 116.9 miles, and a flying distance of 469 feet (143 meters).

The one who caught it was Carlo Mendoza. I caught the ball in the process of buying nachos at a canteen located outside Dodger Stadium.




Mendoza decided to commission the auction business to sell it to 'SCP'. It has been certified as a genuine product through both notarized documents and appraisal procedures.

The auction price starts at $200,000. As SPC sold Freddie Freeman's walk-off grand slam ball in Game 1 of the World Series against the New York Yankees for $1.56 million last year, Ohtani's home run ball was also expected to be up to $1 million. However, the final successful bid price was 270,000 dollars (about 400 million won).

Meanwhile, Miguel Rojas and Will Smith's home run balls from the World Series were also exhibited at the auction. John Baines, 61, and his son Matthew were the protagonists who put the ball up for auction. The father caught Rojas' 387-foot home run with his glove, and two innings later, the son got his hands on Smith's big home run after it fell into the bullpen. The winning prices were 156,000 dollars (230 million won) and 168,000 dollars (240 million won), respectively.
