The Milwaukee Brewers organization is celebrating a new addition to the family as professional pitcher Kaleb Bowman and his wife, Ashton, have announced they are expecting their first child. The couple shared the joyful news through a series of heartfelt social media updates, marking a significant milestone in their lives outside of the diamond.
A “Roster Update” at First Horizon Park
The couple chose a meaningful backdrop for their announcement: First Horizon Park, the home of the Nashville Sounds. In a series of photos shared on Instagram, Kaleb and Ashton were seen celebrating on the field alongside their dog. One prominent image featured the couple holding a miniature baseball jersey emblazoned with “Bowman” and a set of ultrasound photos, while their pet sat nearby wearing a “Big Brother” bandana.
Confirming the timeline for their new arrival, one photo showed the pair walking through the outfield toward a sign that read, “Baby Bowman coming September 2026.” Kaleb humorously captioned the post as a “Roster Update,” noting that they expect their “Rookie” to arrive late in the third quarter of the year.
Baseball-Themed Gender Reveal Confirms a Baby Boy
In addition to the pregnancy announcement, Ashton shared a video revealing the gender of their upcoming arrival. Staying true to Kaleb’s profession, the reveal featured a baseball theme. In the video, Ashton tossed a ball toward Kaleb, who connected with a powerful swing. Upon impact, the ball erupted into a cloud of blue smoke, signaling that the couple is expecting a son. The creative reveal highlighted the couple’s excitement as they prepare to welcome a boy into the family.
