A unique piece of game used memorabilia from what is almost certain to be the 2017 NL Rookie of the Year, offered here is a Rawlings official Major League (Manfred) baseball that was used in play during the April 29, 2017 game between the Phillies and the Dodgers. In particular, this ball was hit Odubel Herrera in the Top of the 5th directly to Cody Bellinger, who fielded the ball from his position at Left Field. In addition to handling the ball in play, Bellinger has placed a superb blue ballpoint pen autograph across the sweet spot. Also of note, this game would provide Bellinger with his first big league home run. Aside from expected soiling and scuffing from game usage this ball stands in excellent condition. Accompanied by a COA from PSA/DNA for the autograph and a serial-numbered authentication hologram to attest for game usage from Major League Baseball (MLB) Authentication.
