Diamondbacks’ Brandon Pfaadt Uses Pink Shoelaces to Reveal Brother’s Baby Is a Girl

The low-key touch highlights how players weave family news into games through simple, visible cues.

Overview

  • Pfaadt wore pink laces during Saturday’s start in Philadelphia to signal that his brother and sister-in-law are expecting a girl.
  • The Diamondbacks’ broadcast told viewers the laces marked a gender reveal for Brett and Hannah, saying, “It’s a girl.”
  • Arizona lost 4-3 to the Phillies, with Pfaadt allowing three earned runs across six innings.
  • He gave up early home runs to Bryce Harper and Kyle Schwarber before settling in on the mound.
  • He chose shoelaces after nixing a pink glove or cleats, and his wife found the pink pair during last week’s Mets series.
