Shohei Ohtani and his wife, Mamiko Tanaka, are expecting a baby.
The Los Angeles Dodgers star posted the news on Instagram on Saturday.
“Can’t wait for the little rookie to join our family soon!” the title said. The photo showed a pink onesie, an ultrasound photo, a pair of tiny shoes and what appears to be the couple’s dog, Decoy.
Ohtani and Tanaka got married in February.
At the time, Ohtani said in an Instagram post: “Not only did I start a new chapter in my career with the Dodgers, but I also started a new life with someone from my home country, Japan, who is very special to me and me. “I wanted everyone to know that I’m married now.”
It’s been a busy year for Ohtani, marriage and baby announcement aside.
Ohtani and the Dodgers just won the World Series against the New York Yankees. He also closed out a stellar season with another award: being named National League Most Valuable Player.
The two-way sensation was also embroiled in a gambling scandal earlier this year, in which his former performer pleaded guilty to stealing millions of dollars from the baseball icon to pay off betting losses.
