Derek Jeter may be looking into suiting up for Little League soon.

Hannah Jeter announced in a post on The Players' Tribune that she and the former Yankees captain are expecting a baby.

From her post:

Now, pregnant with our first child, Derek and I are looking to the future. He already has a name in mind - he's set on it. (We'll see.) He'll say when he calls me during the day: "So, how are you and so-and-so doing?" "That's not the name yet, sweetie." Whatever her name is, I know she'll run circles around him. We want our kids' lives to be as "normal" as possible. They're going to be born into such an extraordinary situation. They're going to have to be some strong little people. We don't want them to be defined by their dad's name - for them, we want him to just be "Dad." That will be the piece of him they'll have that the rest of the world doesn't. It will be special, and it will be theirs.

Derek and Hannah Jeter, formerly Hannah Davis, were married in July. And while he let his wife do the talking in the announcement, when asked about having kids way back in 2014, this is what the former Yankees player had to say:

"I want to have a family. That's important to me. I have the utmost respect for all these guys who have kids and families and being away. I have a nephew and you miss so many things and I don't know how you guys do it. Time is important and there are some things I look forward to doing."
