LOS ANGELES \u2014 Shohei Ohtani is a father again.<\/p>\n

The Los Angeles Dodgers superstar posted the news of his latest addition on his Instagram account Saturday.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are again overjoyed to experience this wonderful day in our lives together. Thank you for being born safely,\u201d read a message from Ohtani and his wife, Mamiko Tanaka. They also also thanked supporters.<\/p>\n

The post showed an image of a baby\u2019s hands and feet in a blue blanket suggesting that Ohtani has a son to go with his daughter who was born in April 2025. Tucked in the baby\u2019s arms was a tiny stuffed version of Ohtani\u2019s beloved dog, Decoy, who also got his own photo at the bottom of the post.<\/p>\n

The news that Ohtani was about to have a second child came out of nowhere Friday. He wasn\u2019t in the Dodgers\u2019 lineup, which was posted much later than usual, after the team said he was \u201caway from the team on paternity.\u201d Ohtani is expected back sometime this weekend for a series against the Baltimore Orioles.<\/p>\n

Manager Dave Roberts said Friday night he found out \u201cvery recently\u201d that Ohtani was going to be a father again.<\/p>\n

The famously private Ohtani has never publicly revealed his daughter\u2019s name and has carefully avoided showing her face in the rare family photos he posts to his social media.<\/p>\n
