An item of clothing he wore during the 2026 World Baseball Classic reached an unprecedented value at auction.\n\nThe jersey, worn by Ohtani in the opening game of the group stage, where Japan defeated Chinese Taipei 13-0, was sold for $1,500,010 through MLB Auctions. This figure sets a new record for the outstanding player&#8217;s items.\n\nThis amount far exceeds the previous record for a Japanese garment, which was $249,999 for a signed jersey from the 2024 season with the Dodgers. Furthermore, it surpasses the $126,110 achieved by a jersey used in the 2023 World Baseball Classic.\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A historic moment turned into a collector&#8217;s item<\/h2>\n\n\nThe garment is directly related to one of Ohtani&#8217;s most memorable performances in the tournament. In that game, the star player hit a grand slam in the second inning and finished the game with three hits in four at-bats and five RBIs.\n\nDuring the 2026 Classic, the Japanese player had an outstanding performance, batting .462, with three home runs and an OPS of 1.842, which reaffirmed his status as one of the most dominant figures in world baseball.\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A constantly growing market<\/h2>\n\n\nThe value achieved in this auction confirms the great interest generated by items related to Ohtani, considered one of the most influential baseball players today.\n\nIn recent months, several items associated with the player have reached multi-million dollar figures, including collectible cards that have exceeded $3 million in auctions.\n\nThe 2026 Cl\u00e1sico jersey received 298 offers, more than double that in previous similar auctions, reflecting the growing demand among collectors.\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Legacy on and off the field<\/h2>\n\n\nBeyond his athletic achievements, Ohtani continues to establish himself as a global figure whose impact transcends the diamond.\n\nEach piece used at key moments in his career becomes an object of high historical and economic value, reaffirming his place as a true legend of modern baseball.","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Santo Domingo.
