Shohei Ohtani is officially a dad.<\/p>\n

The Los Angeles Dodgers<\/u><\/a>‘ two-way superstar announced the birth of his first child, a daughter, in a social media post Saturday. Ohtani welcomed his daughter with wife Mamiko Tanaka.<\/p>\n

“I am so grateful to my loving wife who gave birth to our healthy beautiful daughter,” Ohtani wrote in the caption. “To my daughter, thank you for making us very nervous yet super anxious parents.”<\/p>\n

Ohtani also expressed gratitude to the Dodgers and the medical personnel who helped deliver the baby.<\/p>\n

Ohtani, 30, posted on his Instagram account<\/u><\/a> in late December that he and his 28-year-old wife, a former professional basketball player from his native Japan, were expecting a baby in 2025.<\/p>\n

“Can\u2019t wait for the little rookie to join our family soon!” the Dec. 28 post said. It included a photo showing the couple\u2019s beloved dog, Decoy, and a pink ruffled onesie along with baby shoes and a sonogram that was covered by a baby emoji.<\/p>\n

The Dodgers placed Ohtani on MLB’s paternity list<\/a> prior to their series opener Friday night against the Texas Rangers. Manager Dave Roberts said before Saturday’s game he was hopeful Ohtani would rejoin the club for the series finale Sunday.<\/p>\n

Ohtani can miss up to three games while on paternity leave. The Dodgers have an off day Monday, then play the Cubs<\/a> in Chicago Tuesday.<\/p>\n
