Widely regarded as one of the most talented players in baseball history, Shohei Ohtani has rewritten the record books as both a pitcher and a hitter since arriving in Major League Baseball in 2018. The four-time MVP and two-time World Series champion made history in 2024 as the first player ever to record 50 home runs and 50 stolen bases in a single season a feat that earned him a unanimous National League MVP Award. After returning to the mound in 2025, Ohtani continues to excel in 2026 as a two-way force unlike anything the game has ever seen. This game-used baseball was put in play during the Dodgers' April 4, 2026, matchup against the Washington Nationals, making it a direct artifact from one of the most extraordinary players in baseball history.
