Shohei Ohtani's 50th home run could be worth more than $500,000, expert says

Ohtani became the first player in baseball history with 50 home runs and 50 stolen bases in a single season.

Shohei Ohtani inducted one lucky fan into the six-figure club.

That’s how much money one expert said the person who caught Ohtani’s historic 50-50 club home run baseball on Thursday could sell it for.

“Just an incredible piece of history,” Dillon Kohler of SCP Auctions told NBC Local. “I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s $300,000-plus, maybe even over half a million dollars.”

The Los Angeles Dodgers star became the first player in Major League Baseball history with 50 home runs and 50 stolen bases in a single season. And when he hit the historic home run just over the Dodgers bullpen at loanDepot Park in Miami, he sent a piece of baseball memorabilia and a lottery ticket into the leftfield stands.

That created a scrum, with one fan who will forever regret not bringing a glove to the game appearing to miss the ball by mere inches.
