2025 Shohei Ohtani 55th and Final Regular Season Home Run Baseball. The sports world is still drunk on the spectacle many are calling the greatest individual performance in the history of Major League Baseball. Not even Babe Ruth, the man who pioneered the concept of the slugger/pitcher, could have imagined authoring the masterpiece delivered by Shohei Ohtani as he almost single-handedly completed a National League Championship Series sweep of the Milwaukee Brewers by pitching six innings of a two-hit shutout while launching three home runs, one of which left Dodger Stadium entirely on its 470-foot voyage. We'll note, as this catalog is about to go to print, that Ohtani would carry on to earn the two most coveted pieces of hardware in the game for 2025--a World Championship ring and the National League MVP Award.

Here we present the capstone on the brilliant regular season that helped power the Los Angeles Dodgers to that postseason tour de force, the baseball struck for Shohei Ohtani's 55th and final home run of the 2025 regular season, a milestone that etched his name even more indelibly into franchise history. On September 28, 2025, during the final game of the regular season at T-Mobile Park in Seattle, Ohtani launched a solo shot in the seventh inning - a 412-foot blast tracked at 109.5 mph off the bat - off left-handed pitcher Gabe Speier, setting a new single-season home-run record for the Los Angeles Dodgers and raising the bar to 55 long balls for the year.

For context, this was not just another homer - it represented Ohtani's career high, eclipsing the 54 home runs he hit the previous season and reinforcing his dominance as one of the game's most unique two-way performers--one of only six players to reach fifty long balls in consecutive seasons. An added point of intrigue is the mathematical anomaly of that personal and franchise record tally--twenty-four seasons have seen a slugger venture north of fifty-four home runs, but Ohtani is the only player in Major League history to land at fifty-five.

The landing of this baseball is likewise of particular interest, a variation on the theme of "good news and bad news." The latter is easy enough to understand, as our consignor is the Mariners fan who corralled a historic sphere certain to generate a Warholian dose of fame and a sizable payday. The bad news is most evident in the circular bruise at the bald crown of that fan's head, the first point of impact after leaving the Japanese superstar's bat.

That fan is supplying a wide array of photography snapped that day, a beaming smile in all of them, the thrill of his catch functioning better than any aspirin ever could. We also have a screenshot of his ticket for Section 342, Row 20, Seat 13, and a personal signed letter of provenance.

We'll close this item description with a reminder that the ball Ohtani hit for his 50th homer last year to cut the ribbon on the 50/50 Club sold at auction in October 2024 for a record $4.392 million, and a grateful and heartfelt message of good luck to the intrepid collectors who will compete for ownership. It is a truly historic artifact marking the pinnacle of single-season home run achievement for the names on both the front and the back of that number "17" jersey. LOA from Heritage Auctions.
