Baltimore Orioles pitcher Anthony Nunez delivered one of the most creative and heartwarming gender reveals in recent memory — and he did it live on television during a Mother’s Day game.

On Sunday, May 11, 2026, after pitching a scoreless eighth inning in the Orioles’ 2-1 victory over the Oakland Athletics, Nunez turned toward the camera and clearly mouthed the words “It’s a boy!”

The moment was for his brother, Danny Delgado, and sister-in-law Makayla, who had just announced earlier that day they were expecting their third child.

Perfect Timing on Mother’s Day

The couple had gathered with family for Mother’s Day and revealed the pregnancy, but kept the gender a surprise. Nunez, knowing the broadcast cameras would be on him, seized the moment to share the news in the most public and memorable way possible.

MASN broadcaster Kevin Brown caught the moment live and reacted perfectly on air:

“Anthony is mouthing ‘it’s a boy’ for some family members. His brother and sister-in-law, Danny and Makayla Delgado, are expecting child No. 3. And that, folks, is one of the most creative gender reveals you’ll ever see.”

Nunez Shines On and Off the Field

Beyond the viral family moment, Nunez was excellent on the mound. He entered in the eighth inning with the game on the line and retired the side cleanly, helping the Orioles secure a crucial victory.

After the game, Nunez smiled when asked about the gender reveal:

“They were all together for Mother’s Day. My brother wanted to surprise everybody. He just announced to them today that they were having their third kid, and he wanted to do the gender reveal. To be able to get three outs without giving up a run for her is awesome. Happy Mother’s Day for that, too.”

The heartwarming clip quickly spread across social media, with fans praising Nunez for blending his professional performance with such a personal and joyful family moment.
