Many people will once again know that Shohei Otani is the "world's best baseball player" through the 2024 season. In his first year after transferring to the Los Angeles Dodgers, he was in the process of rehabilitating his right elbow as a pitcher, but he led the team to victory in the division with his overwhelming performance as a batter, and in his first postseason challenge, he was the driving force behind the team's rise to the World Series championship with the same momentum. Otani has also shown a memorable and memorable performance in the 2024 season. There are countless stories about his performance, which is out of the ordinary in every way, but the most symbolic of 2024 was the "50-50" in home runs and stolen bases. Instead of being able to pitch as a pitcher, Otani worked on improving his base running before the season, significantly increasing his numbers from 20 stolen bases in 2023 to 59 stolen bases. He also hit a career high 54 home runs, becoming the first player in major league history to hit 50 home runs and steal 50 bases in a single season. And one of the best seasons in the history of major league hitters was born from a commemorative "50-50" home run ball. As proof of Ohtani's greatest stardom of all time, the "50-50" home run ball attracted a lot of attention as a memorial to this great record. In this situation, the ball was auctioned in the United States. The final winning bid at the auction was about $4.4 million. A ridiculous price tag was placed on just one baseball, and it was sold at a record price. And a few weeks after the shocking price, Ohtani's "50-50" commemorative ball was put on display in Taiwan, far from the United States. The buyer of this home run ball is a Taiwanese investment company called UC Capital, and it will be displayed in Taipei 101, which was once the tallest building in the world and is still one of the tallest buildings in Asia. It will be displayed in a glass case until March 2, 2025, so that anyone can see it. The card on which the ball is displayed has the following message. (Message under the ball) "Los Angeles Dodgers superstar Shohei Otani made history in September 2024 by becoming the first player in Major League Baseball (MLB) history to hit 50 home runs and steal 50 bases in a single season." Even if it is a memorial ball hit by the world's best player as a home run, it is unprecedented to trade it for such a large amount of money. And what is even more surprising is the fact that this memorial ball was purchased at auction not by Otani's hometown of Japan or the United States where he plays, but by a Taiwanese company. This proves that Otani is so popular not only in Japan and the United States, but also in other countries such as Taiwan. In this video, I would like to explore the details of Shohei Ohtani's memorial ball and his popularity in Asia.
