Memorabilia from Shohei Ohtani’s historic 2025 World Series continues to hit the auction block, with one of his World Series home run balls coming to auction in a special event at SCP Auctions.

Ohtani homered in the seventh inning of the historic game that ultimately went 18 innings, tied for the most in World Series history. Ohtani went 4-4 and reached base a record nine times in the game. After his game-tying homer, the Blue Jays walked Ohtani five times in a row. The Dodgers won the game on Freddie Freeman’s walk-off home run in the bottom of the 18th inning.
This is the first time any of Ohtani’s World Series home run balls will be offered at auction. It also was his final home run of 2025.
SCP expects the ball to exceed $1 million.
Several Ohtani memorabilia items from 2024 and the 2025 postseason sold in the SCP Fall Auction.
An 2024 Ohtani game-used bat photo-matched to five home runs during his historic 50/50 MVP season sold for $300,000 to set an auction record for any Ohtani bat. The ball from the second of three home runs he hit at Dodger Stadium during his historic NLCS Game 4 performance took in $270,000.
Other Ohtani items that sold included: a game-used bat photo-matched to two games during his first 2021 MVP for $45,000; and a signed and inscribed “2018 ROY” (in Kanju) Los Angeles Angels alternate red Jersey and a 2025 autographed World Series Game 4 game-used baseball, both for $24,000.
Also featured are items worn by Dodgers World Series hero Miguel Rojas in Game 7. With one out in the ninth inning and the Dodgers trailing 4-3, the Dodgers’ 36-year-old utility infielder hit a game-tying home run. The Dodgers won their second straight World Series on Will Smith’s go-ahead home run in the 11th inning.
SCP is offering the jersey, cleats, glove, arm sleeve, sweatband and locker tag used by Rojas during Game 7. The items are straight from Rojas and have been signed and inscribed.
