Shohei Ohtani has matched Hideki Matsui's record for most MLB home runs by a Japanese-born player with his 175th homer.

His record-tying home run occurred in a game against the San Diego Padres, where he also extended his hitting streak to eight games.

Ohtani has shown remarkable consistency, achieving 12 extra-base hits in his last 35 at-bats.

Despite a potential distraction from a former interpreter's gambling issues, Ohtani's performance remains unaffected, earning admiration from his manager.

The milestone home run is Ohtani's latest achievement since signing a $700 million contract with the Los Angeles Dodgers, after six seasons with the Angels.

Ohtani's success continues to resonate within the Japanese baseball community and further solidifies his status in MLB.
