Major League Baseball has seen its fair share of talented exports from the Land of the Rising Sun, including Godzilla Hideki Matsui, but it's never seen someone quite like Shohei Ohtani, who's been bending people's minds with his all-around brilliance. We're not just talking about five-tool talent here, but way beyond that even.

Ohtani can just about do anything on the baseball field and among the most engrossing is his power. On the season, Ohtani already has 32 home runs, the most in the majors, as of this writing. That 32nd ball he sent to the moon also broke Hideki Matsui's record for most homers by a Japanese player in the MLB.

Shortly after Ohtani's historic homer, Matsui released a statement via the Angels, per Steve Gardner of USA TODAY:

“32 home runs in a season is just a passing point for a hitter like Shohei,” Matsui said in a statement. “He exceeds what is considered conventional for a Major League player and there is no one else like him. I hope he continues his success this season as he carries the hopes and dreams of many fans and young children. As a baseball fan myself, I can't wait to see what he is able to do next.”

Ohtani is indeed special. As a pitcher, he has a 4-1 record in 13 starts this season to go with a 3.49 ERA and 1.21 WHIP. As for his hitting, he is slashing .279/.364/.700, while also owning a 179 wRC+.

Hideki Matsui had 31 home runs as a 30-year-old slugger for the New York Yankees in 2004, but it was all he hit across 162 games.

Matsui won a World Series in 2009 with the Yankees, and hopefully for Ohtani, he can win one someday, though he probably have to find a way to get out of the Angels to achieve that dream.
