Shohei Ohtani has hit his MLB-leading 32nd homer for the Los Angeles Angels, breaking Hideki Matsui's record for homers in a major league season by a Japanese player. Ohtani surpassed Matsui's full-season record before the All-Star break with his solo shot to right in the fifth inning against Boston on Wednesday. He exceeds what is considered conventional for a major league player, and there is no one else like him. He extended his own Angels franchise record for homers before an All-Star break. His 32 homers before the All-Star break are the most by an AL player since Chris Davis hit 37 in 2013.
