New York – While J.C. Escarra is still trying to assert himself in the Bronx, some good news off the field has the Yankees community and MLB fans excited: Escarra and his wife Jocelyn are preparing to welcome their first child.
What made the story become the center of attention was the leaked detail: the name that the Escarras planned to give their baby is extremely unique. Yankees fans immediately discussed it on social media, from names that evoke baseball heritage, to the theory that Escarra wants to put “pinstripes” on his own child’s name.
Escarra, 29, has had a long journey to make the Yankees’ 2025 roster. Having spent years toiling in the Minor League, the catcher finally received a prestigious MLB opportunity at the start of the season. On Opening Day, the image of Escarra hugging his wife Jocelyn in the stands, with his arms protecting not only her but also their growing little angel, spread throughout the media.
It was a rare moment where baseball and personal life merged, making fans feel Escarra closer and more lovable than ever.
Fans Curious About “Baby Escarra”
On the Baby Registry page, the young couple called their unborn child by the temporary name “Baby Escarra.” This made fans even more curious: will they name their child after family tradition, after their baseball idol, or a name with a special Yankees mark?
On the fan forum, many theories have been put forward:
“Could it be Derek – in honor of Derek Jeter?”
“Or Aaron – inspired by Aaron Judge?”
Some others joked: “If it’s a girl, maybe the name will be Bronxie!”
All of this shows the special level of interest that the fan community has for Escarra, a player who is not a famous superstar, but is making his mark with a warm and ordinary life story.
In a recent interview, Escarra confided:
“I’ve had many ups and downs in my career. Playing for the Yankees was a dream, but being a father – that’s incomparable. My wife and I chose a name that has a lot of meaning, and we can’t wait to share it with everyone.”
The statement further increased the excitement of fans, who already had special sympathy for this catcher.
The Yankees have a long tradition of family and community. From Derek Jeter to Aaron Judge, the stories of their players’ lives have been closely followed by Bronx fans. For Escarra, that’s especially true: he’s not just a rookie on the roster, but also a “young father” learning to balance baseball and parenthood.
While Escarra’s on-field future is still ahead, his off-field journey is sure to begin: his journey to fatherhood. And if that special name is revealed, it could become the defining story of the Yankees’ 2025 season—a season that will be remembered not just for home runs, but also for the moment a small family welcomed new life.
J.C. Escarra – from pinstripes to diapers, from cheers in the Bronx to a baby’s first cry – is about to enter the most emotional chapter of her life.
