Tokyo: Japan reacted with incredulity and pride on Friday after Shohei Ohtani became the first player in Major League Baseball to record 50 home runs and 50 stolen bases in a single season.
The Los Angeles Dodgers star from Japan made history with a seventh-inning homer in a 20-4 victory over the Marlins in Miami.
"We would like to congratulate him from the bottom of our heart," top government spokesman Yoshimasa Hayashi told reporters in Tokyo.
"We sincerely hope Mr Ohtani, who has already accomplished feat after feat and carved out a new era, will thrive further."
The landmark achievement dominated Japanese morning news shows and social media.
