The fan who caught Shohei Ohtani<\/strong><\/a>‘s historic 176th home run is about to be a whole lot richer … TMZ Sports<\/strong> has learned the man’s putting the ball up for auction — and it’s expected to net him a small fortune!!<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

The guys over at Heritage Auctions<\/strong><\/a> tell us … Jason Patino<\/strong> — who snagged the record-setting baseball after Ohtani blasted it toward him in an April 21 victory over the Mets — is selling the memento on their block, and they’re figuring it’ll eventually go for around $200,000.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

Shohei Ohtani now holds the MLB record for most HRs hit by a Japanese-born player.<\/p>\n

The ball, of course, holds a ton of value … as it marked the official breaking of Hideki Matsui<\/strong>‘s MLB record for dingers by a Japanese-born slugger.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

\n

As for the ball itself, check it out … it’s pretty sweet. It’s got official MLB logos all over it, along with a holographic authentication sticker. It’s also got a handwritten “E” on it.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

\n

Some might be wondering why Patino would give up such a gem, especially when, initially, he said he would keep it. Well, we’re told the potential six-figure price tag made things simply too hard for the man to hang onto it any longer.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n
