Presented here is a Rawlings official Major League (Manfred) baseball used in play during the April 19, 2018 game between the Nationals and Padres. In particular, this ball was pitched by Strasburg to Eric Hosmer, first pitch being a called strike with a 93.1 MPH fast ball, second pitch a swinging strike curveball, and third a ball. In addition to game usage, the ball is handsomely signed on the sweet spot by Stephen Strasburg in blue ballpoint pen. Aside from obvious game usage the ball stands in fine condition. The autograph is certified by COA from PSA/DNA, with the game usage certified by a serial-numbered hologram from MLB Authentication.
