Tanner Bibee Wears Pink Laces for On-Field Gender Reveal During Six Scoreless Innings

The personal gesture signals a small early-season trend of MLB players using game gear for family announcements.

Overview

  • Tanner Bibee, who took the mound Friday against the Orioles, used pink shoelaces to tell his brother Cameron and fiancée Kaylin they are expecting a girl.
  • MLB.com reported that Bibee threw six scoreless innings in a 6-4 Guardians loss to Baltimore at Progressive Field.
  • He said his brother asked for the reveal near the end of Spring Training, and he pivoted to pink laces after ordered cleats failed to arrive in time.
  • Guardians TV showed the shoelaces at the start of the third inning, completing the reveal for family watching at home.
  • The moment, shared widely by Jomboy Media, follows similar early-2026 gestures by Brandon Pfaadt and Joey Bart that also used pink gear to share baby news.
