On June 26, 2025, New York Yankees prospect J.C. Escarra welcomed his first son, J.C. Escarra III, bringing joy to his small family. The moment was not only a personal milestone but also a reminder that dreams, no matter how difficult, can come true.
An Extraordinary Journey
Before joining the Yankees, Escarra had many challenges. From working as an Uber driver to a substitute teacher, he never gave up on his passion for baseball. After years of hard work, from independent leagues to international opportunities, Escarra was finally signed by the Yankees and made his MLB debut in 2025. His story is a living testament to perseverance and determination, making fans love him more than the action on the field.
The Joy of Being a Father
Escarra shares that the moment he saw his son born was a life-changing moment for him: “Becoming a father is the most important thing I’ve ever experienced. I want him to know that whether on the field or in life, hard work and passion will always pay off.” His wife, Jocelyn, also expressed her pride and happiness: “Welcome to the world, our dear son. Your father will teach you all the best things.”
Dreams to Inspire the New Generation
With his love for the Yankees and baseball, Escarra hopes that his son will be inspired by his father’s steps. He smiles: “I will take him to Yankees games, teach him to love baseball and respect every moment on the field. If he wants, I will be there to cheer him on, and if he chooses his own path, I will be proud of him.”
Escarra not only welcomed a little angel, but also opened a new chapter for the family and for the Yankees dream – where love, effort and perseverance are passed down from generation to generation.
