Shohei Ohtani Maybe he's adding a two-sport athlete to the family… because he just posted on Instagram that he and his former professional basketball player wife are having their first child.
The two-way baseball star announced the news with a post on Instagram on Saturday … sharing a photo of his dog Decoy lying next to a baby onesie, two tiny sneakers and what looks like an ultrasound photo of one Baby Face Covered Emoji.
He captioned the photo, “Can't wait for the little newbie to join our family soon!”
Countless fans — some in English, others in Japanese — are congratulating the couple online last year in a secret ceremony before the start of the 2024 MLB season.
If you don't know… Sho it is married To Mamiko Tanaka – a former professional basketball player in Japan who played for the Fujitsu Red Wave from 2019 to 2023.
Whether this child wants to play baseball or basketball, there are some great resources to ask.
It was an outstanding year for Shohei, who drew one Huge $700 million contract End of 2023…before he wins his third MVP award And first World Series title with the Los Angeles Dodgers.
