Ryan O’Hearn Welcomes New Baby Amid Pirates Deal Delay
PITTSBURGH — In a whirlwind of personal and professional milestones, Ryan O’Hearn is making headlines not just for his recent free agent signing with the Pittsburgh Pirates but also for a heartwarming family moment. The promising slugger and his wife, Hannah, have celebrated the arrival of their first child, a baby girl. Hannah shared their joy on social media, posting an Instagram story that read, “She is here and we are so in love. 🤍”
A New Chapter for the O’Hearns
The O’Hearn family’s journey has been filled with significant events. After tying the knot in February 2024, the couple announced their pregnancy during the All-Star Game in July. This latest addition to their family comes at a pivotal moment in Ryan’s career, just as he prepares to make his mark in Pittsburgh.
Contract Details and Delays
O’Hearn’s signing with the Pirates is being touted as one of the most significant free agent acquisitions in recent memory. He agreed to a two-year, $29 million contract on December 23. However, the deal has yet to be finalized. The delay can be attributed to a combination of factors, including the holiday season and the recent birth of his daughter.
As it stands, O’Hearn’s official entry into the Pirates roster hinges on the successful completion of his physical examination. Once that hurdle is cleared, he will be set to bolster the Pirates’ lineup for the 2026 season, adding depth and power to their batting order.
Looking Ahead
With O’Hearn’s family and career taking shape simultaneously, the coming months promise to be both exciting and transformative for the new father. Fans and teammates alike are eager to see how he will contribute to the Pirates, while also cherishing the personal milestones that make this time truly unforgettable.
