Sasaki’s surprise wedding announcement comes nearly a year after teammate Shohei Ohtani did the same thing. Similar to Sasaki, Ohtani also kept his relationship private upon the announcement, but he has since revealed the identity of his wife, former Japanese professional basketball player Mamiko Tanaka.

Roki Sasaki took to social media to announce that he's married. The news shocked fans since it came as a surprise to many.

Just like Dodgers star Shohei Ohtani did last year, the pitcher announced the news in an Instagram post without naming his wife or specific details about when or where they were married.
