Major League Baseball star Ohtani Shohei of the Los Angeles Dodgers says he and his wife Mamiko are expecting a baby.
The 30-year-old player wrote on his Instagram account that he "can't wait for the little rookie to join our family soon!"
He also posted a photo showing the couple's pet dog, Dekopin -- better known as Decoy in the United States. It also shows a pink onesie, white baby shoes and what appears to be a sonogram covered with a baby emoji.
Ohtani revealed in February on Instagram that he had married Mamiko, a former basketball player.
Ohtani joined the Dodgers this year. He is known as a two-way player, but only played as a batter this season after having elbow surgery.
He became the first Major Leaguer to achieve 50 homers and 50 stolen bases in a single season. He received his third MVP award in his MLB career, following his second last season.
Ohtani also significantly contributed to his team's victory in the World Series.
He aims to make a comeback as a two-way player next season after spring training in February.
