## Resource

Dansby Swanson and Javier Assad, both new dads navigating baseball’s grind, find unexpected perspective and joy in fatherhood. Swanson, 32, battles a six-week hitting slump but finds peace at home with his seven-month-old daughter Josie, calling fatherhood his greatest blessing. Assad, 28, juggles Triple-A and MLB stints while his wife and four-month-old Arleth stay in Chicago for stability — a challenge he credits her support for overcoming. Both athletes cherish every moment with their daughters, imagining them cheering them on at games, and rely on their “village” to balance careers and parenthood — proving love, family, and baseball can coexist.
