Shohei Ohtani's remarkable 2024 season is concluding on a high note as the Los Angeles Dodgers star prepares to become a father.
Shohei Ohtani's 2024 is ending on a high note, which is pretty impressive, considering how amazing a year it's been. This year marked the first of the Los Angeles Dodgers superstar's ten-year, $700 million deal (where 98% of it is deferred), and he is living up to it. Ohtani, who didn't pitch due to recovering from elbow surgery, became the first person to hit 50 home runs and steal 50 bases in a season, en route to winning his third MVP Award in the last four seasons.
Personally, he underwhelmed in the postseason, but his Dodgers did defeat the New York Yankees in the World Series. Now, with just days left in the year, Ohtani announced that he is set to become a father. Ohtani posted a photo on Instagram of his now famous dog, Decoy, lying beside a onesie and shoes, along with a sonogram. The gender of the baby was not revealed, as the sonogram was pink and the shoes were blue, but Ohtani did appear to use a boy emoji to cover up the sonogram photo. 'Can't wait for the little rookie to join our family soon!' Ohtani captioned the post. Back in February, Ohtani revealed that he was married to a 'normal Japanese woman' named Mamiko, but he did not reveal when that occurred. ATHLETICS PRESIDENT DAVE KAVAL TO RESIGN AFTER HEADING TEAM'S UNPOPULAR MOVE TO LAS VEGAS 'I felt like it was good timing because it was before the season,' he added. 'I didn’t really want any distractions once the season started. I would have liked to announce it earlier, but there were some paperwork issues that (delayed) the whole process.' There are reports that AL MVP Aaron Judge and his wife will also soon welcome their first child. Ohtani's 134 runs scored and 411 total bases were the most in the majors, and he led the National League in home runs (54), RBIs (130), on-base percentage (.390), slugging percentage (646) and a 9.2 bWAR. His .310 average in the NL was second behind only Luis Arráez'
