David Peralta's son Diego turned one on Thursday as the family celebrated his "Rookie of the Year" themed birthday. Peralta, who tied the knot with Jordan in Feb. 2015, shares three kids, including daughters, Sofia and Isabelle.

On Sunday, Peralta shared a post on social media featuring a themed birthday party that dubbed Diego the "Rookie of the Year." Peralta was seen proudly holding his one-year-old son, both sporting matching T-shirts. David's shirt reads "Papa of the Rookie," while Diego’s outfit cements his "Rookie" status.

Adding to the charm of the celebration was a custom poster styled like a baseball card, detailing Diego’s "stats" and milestones. According to the card, Diego's "debut" was on December 26, 2023, with highlights including taking his first steps and attending his first baseball game.

David Peralta and his wife Jordan made sure to celebrate their son's first birthday with a baseball-themed party. The post card was a unique way to roll back the memories, allowing fans an inside detail of Diego.

Styled like a baseball card, the poster featured a black-and-white photo of Diego wearing a baseball cap, alongside playful details inspired by baseball. It highlighted Diego’s "rookie stats," including his height (2-foot-7), weight (24 lbs), teeth count (8) and nickname (“D.O.”).

The poster also listed his “season highlights,” like feeding himself, turning pages, crawling, clapping and pulling to stand. Additionally, it noted Diego’s favorite activities, which included bath time, dancing and story time, peek-a-boo and playing ball. His “most memorable moment” was attending his first baseball game in San Diego.

When Diego was born last year, David Peralta made a heartwarming post to mark his arrival.
