The wife of San Francisco Giants pitcher Sean Hjelle has accused him of abuse, affairs and abandoning their two young sons.
Caroline Hjelle posted a short clip of herself with their two boys on TikTok, where she also included bombshell allegations against her 28-year-old spouse.
‘When my MLB husband abandons us on Mothers (sic) Day a week after this once I finally found out about his affairs and stopped putting up with his abuse so I’ve been raising two boys alone,’ she wrote online.
Daily Mail has reached out for comment to Sean, through Giants spokespeople, and to Caroline, via email.
Her TikTok post shows Caroline’s two sons both wearing t-shirts emblazoned with a drawing off their family. A tall baseball player (Sean is 6-foot-11) is pictured holding hands with a blonde woman and two boys. His No. 64 is also visible on the t-shirts.
The couple was married in November of 2021 at a private ceremony in Richmond, Virginia, where their eldest son served as a ringbearer, according to Richmond.com.

Caroline’s TikTok account has served as a behind-the-scenes look at the life of a Major League Baseball family, with many of her previous posts focusing on her husband’s career and his extraordinary height.
‘And we are Giants,’ she captioned one clip in a reference to her towering husband and his employer.
In other clips, Caroline jokes about her growing sons, referring to them as ‘7 foot toddlers.’
Fans offered an outpouring of sympathy on TikTok in addition to a few critiques about Sean’s performance in Friday’s loss to the visiting Boston Red Sox.
‘He just gave up a home run like 30 seconds ago!’ wrote one Giants fan on TikTok, referring to a sixth-inning bomb from Boston’s Ceddanne Rafaela.
Other responses were more relevant to the allegations of infidelity and abuse.
‘Let’s normalize calling cheaters out regardless of who they are — I’m so sorry,’ one person wrote. ‘You and your babies are so cute.’

One woman offered a pathway to a divorce.
‘Be the first to file girlfriend,’ she wrote. ‘I just got to our final judgement after a year and a half battle – sole custody and can finally move on with our lives. It was hard but worth it.’
A native of Fridley, Minnesota, Sean was the Southeastern Conference’s Pitcher of the Year at the University of Kentucky in 2017. He would go on to be drafted by the Giants in the second round of the 2018 MLB Draft, but struggled to reach the majors after spending several years in the minors.
This season, Hjelle pitched well enough at Triple-A Sacramento to get a call up to San Francisco, where he’s posted a mediocre 4.66 earned-run average while walking as many batters as he’s struck out.
