Japanese baseball player Shohei Ohtani, currently playing in Major League Baseball (MLB) for the Los Angeles Angels, has been admired after hitting home runs in two consecutive games. The remarkable performance has not just electrified the field, but also earned him high praise from his team's Management.

Baseball is one of the most popular sports in Japan and homegrown players achieving success in the MLB is a sense of national pride. Shohei Ohtani is particularly well-regarded, not only due to his excellent performance, but also for his professionalism, discipline, and humility, traits highly valued in Japanese culture.

In the US or EU, achievements in sports, especially baseball, are also highly celebrated. However, the emphasis is often more on individual prowess rather than the honor it brings to the home country. Still, the success of foreign players is appreciated and celebrated by fans and the media alike.
