The Otani family's roster will probably grow a little more.
Dodgers superstar Shohei Ohtani and his wife Mamiko Tanaka shared on their Instagram accounts Saturday that they are expecting their first child.
“We can't wait for this little new addition to our family soon!” Otani captioned her post, which includes images of a hidden ultrasound, a salmon-colored onesie, baby shoes, and her dog, Decoy. I wrote it down.
It's been a whirlwind year for Ohtani, who signed a 10-year, $700 million contract with the Dodgers in December after winning two MVP awards with the Angels.
In February, before the baseball season began, Ohtani announced that he had gotten married during the offseason.
“I want to make an announcement to my friends and fans. Not only am I starting a new chapter in my career with the Dodgers, I am also starting a new life with a very special person from my home country of Japan.” I wanted everyone to know that I am now married,” Ohtani wrote on social media at the time.
It was later revealed that she married Tanaka, a former professional basketball player.
On the field, Ohtani's first season with the Dodgers saw him become the first player in MLB history to join a 50-50 club with 50 home runs, earn his third MVP award, and the first in the National League to win the award. It turned out to be so wonderful. and 50 stolen bases.
He helped the Dodgers defeat the Yankees for the first time in five games, capping off their first World Series victory.
