If you miss seeing the likes of Jalen Hurts, Travis Kelce, Joe Burrow and Brock Purdy (or rather, their looks) on your TV screen now that football season has ended, don't fret, baseball season is here.
The MLB regular season kicked off in Seoul, South Korea on March 20 with a two-game series between the Los Angeles Dodgers and the San Diego Padres, however Opening Day is taking place this Thursday, March 28.
As all 30 MLB clubs step up to the plate and play ball, take a look at some of the league's most popular and handsome players, and the gorgeous women who've claimed them!

On the field, Aaron is a New York Yankee with a historic 62 home runs and a nine-year, $360 million contract (and $40 million annual salary), but off the field, he is a husband to Samantha Bracksieck.
Aaron, 32, and Samantha, 29, are highschool sweethearts, and tied the knot with a private ceremony in Maui, Hawai'i, on December 13, 2021. Samantha studied kinesiology in college, and in 2017, Fresno State awarded her the Outstanding Master's Degree Project medal for her thesis "Posterior Elbow Angle During the Movement Phase of Throwing in Relation to the Susceptibility of UCL Injury in Major League Baseball Players."

Shohei, who hails from Japan and plays for the Los Angeles Dodgers, is in the midst of scandal with his right-hand man, interpreter Ippei Mizuraha, who is under investigation over illegal gambling.
However, all is well with his right-hand woman, wife Mamiko Tanaka. Shohei, 29, had kept the identity of his significant other a mystery until earlier this year, when a tweet from his team included a photo of the couple together headed to Seoul. Mamiko, 27, is a former professional basketball player for the Fujitsu Red Wave.

Kike is a fan favorite from Puerto Rico – he famously practically sold out blonde hair dye in the island when he bleached his hair while representing them in the World Baseball Classic – and currently plays for the Los Angeles Dodgers.
His wife Mariana Vicente, who he married in 2018, also hails from Puerto Rico, and is an actress, plus she was crowned Miss Universe Puerto Rico in 2010. The couple share one daughter, Penélope, aged three.

Like Aaron and Bryce, he and his wife Brianna Hammonds are high school sweethearts as well.

Another Dodger! Freddie, a first baseman, is positioned as the 5th top player by MLB Network for 2024, up from #10 last year.
The 34-year-old and his wife Chelsea Freeman (née Goff), 33, started dating in 2011 while she was in college at the University of Central Florida. They got engaged some months after her 2013 graduation, and tied the knot in November of 2014. They share three kids, Charlie, born in 2016, and Brandon John and Maximus Turner, who were born two months apart, in 2020 and 2021, one via surrogacy and another through Chelsea's pregnancy.

Ronald, who plays for the Atlanta Braves, hails from Venezuela, and is ranked as the #1 player in the league; last year, he became the first player in American League and National League history to hit 40 or more homers and steal 70 or more bases in the same season.
Just hours before he became the league's first 30-60 player during a September game against the Dodgers, Ronald, 26, had married longtime girlfriend Maria Laborde, 24, in a private ceremony. The couple are parents to sons Ronald Daniel, two, and Jamall, one.
