MLB Authenticated - Shogo Akiyama Pop Up To Adalberto Mondesi Off Scott Barlow. Ships USPS Priority Mail. On August 12, 2020, the Kansas City Royals visited the Cincinnati Reds at Great American Ball Park. Wade Miley started for the Reds, and Brad Keller took the mound for the Royals. The Reds got hits from Shogo Akiyama, Jesse Winker, Freddy Galvis, and Josh VanMeter but ended up losing 5-4. (Nicholas Castellanos, Joey Votto, Eugenio Suarez, Nick Senzel, Kyle Farmer, and Tucker Barnhart all went hitless.) In the bottom of the seventh, Akiyama came to the plate. Scott Barlow HELD THIA BALL IN HIS HAND!! Barlow threw a slider on the first pitch, which Akiyama swung at and missed. Barlow followed that with a four-seam fastball (at 96.6 mph!) for a ball. He came back with another 96+ mph four-seamer for a called strike. On the fourth pitch with this ball, Barlow threw a slider, and Akiyama popped up this ball to Adalberto Mondesi. This ball was then retired. This ball is MLB Authenticated for all four pitches to Akiyama, including his pop up to Mondesi. Please note that this ball does not come with a case. Thank you for purchasing!!
