Justin Verlander’s major league finale included a mound visit nobody in the ballpark could have expected: his 7-year-old daughter, the child he shares with model Kate Upton, came out to join him.
A family moment on the mound
- Verlander took the mound in what was described as his final major league appearance.
- During the outing, his 7-year-old daughter made her way to the pitcher’s mound.
- The visit gave the veteran right-hander an unexpected family moment in the middle of his farewell appearance.
For a pitcher whose career has been built on big-game poise and long nights under the lights, the lasting image from his final outing may be a simple one: his daughter standing with him on the mound.
