Los Angeles Dodgers superstar Shohei Ohtani announced the birth of his daughter via Instagram Saturday.

“Welcome to the Ohtani Family!,” the caption read. “I am so grateful to my loving wife who gave birth to our healthy beautiful daughter. To my daughter, thank you for making us very nervous yet super anxious parents. I would also like to thank the Dodgers organization, my teammates, and the fans for their constant support and kind words of encouragement.

“I would also like to express my sincere gratitude to all the medical professionals and everyone who dedicated their support to us, up until this wonderful day.”

The National League MVP did not travel with the Dodgers to Texas and was placed on the paternity list Friday as him and his wife, Mamiko, prepared for the birth of their child.

Dodgers Nation wishes the Ohtani family its congratulations.
