Shohei Ohtani (31, LA Dodgers), a Japanese baseball genius who achieved 50 home runs and 50 steals in one season for the first time in the world as well as the Major League Baseball (MLB). A Taiwanese company that owns Ohtani's 50 home run ball, which has completed an unprecedented milestone, has expressed its intention to sell it to Japan.안전놀이터

Japanese media ANN News reported on the 17th that a Taiwanese company is willing to sell Otani's 50th home run ball to Japan when he achieved 50 homers and 50 steals. The ball was sold for $4.392 million (about 6.1 billion won) at an auction by Goldin Auction, a U.S. auction company, in October last year.

Later, Ohtani's home run ball was displayed at Taipei 101, a high-rise building in Taipei, Taiwan. It turned out that UC Capital, a Taiwanese investment company, won Ohtani's home run ball at the highest ever auction price.

ANN reported, "UC Capital has been shown to be willing to sell to Japanese companies with the idea that it is good for the ball to return to Japan." It added, "We are considering selling and renting while it is found to be willing to buy from two Japanese companies."

"(UC Capital) is) willing to help Taiwan and Japan exchange, and if it is sold, we are considering donating part of the profits for the development of baseball in both countries," the media reported. Otani's home run ball is still on display in Taipei 101.

Ohtani hit a home run in the top of the seventh inning against the Miami Marlins at Rondipo Park on Sept. 20 last year, becoming the first MLB player to record 50 homers and 50 steals. Chris Bellanski, who acquired the ball after fierce competition, rejected the Dodgers' proposal to limit hundreds of thousands of dollars and entrusted it to Goldin, an auction house.
