“This isn’t the Oscars, honey! We’re not changing for the after party!”
Corey Seager is officially entering his dad era.
The 31-year-old shortstop, who has spent the past four years with the Texas Rangers after a seven-year stint with the Los Angeles Dodgers, welcomed his first child one week after his teammate did the same.
Corey Seager’s wife Mady Seager announced the exciting news in an Instagram post on Oct. 7.
According to the photo, baby boy Camden Miles made his arrival at 8:09 p.m. on Oct. 4. He weighed 8 lbs. and 8 oz. at the time of his birth.
A separate photo showed the new parents smiling as they held the newborn boy on a hospital bed, while another photo showed Corey walking down a hallway at the hospital with a car seat in his hand.
Corey’s teammate, Josh Smith, announced the birth of his first child on Sept. 28, per “The Dallas Morning News.”
Though likely unintentional, Corey and Mady ended up giving their baby boy a baseball-inspired name.
Camden, which means “enclosed valley” in Old English, per Behind the Name, just so happens to be the name of the ballpark the Baltimore Orioles play at: Oriole Park at Camden Yards.

Corey and his wife both grew up in North Carolina and have no known connection to the Baltimore area.
The name Camden is, however, a rather popular name in the United States and most recently ranked 193rd in 2024 with 1,857 recorded births, according to the Social Security Administration.
Not long after announcing the baby news, Mady took to her Instagram Stories to provide an update on the baby’s arrival.
“A week late & worth the wait. Heart has never been fuller and purpose has never felt greater,” she wrote under a photo of the announcement post.
