New York Mets player Francisco Lindor and his wife, Katia, welcomed their third baby together, and announced the news via Instagram. 

In a joint post, they shared a photo of the baby boy swaddled and sleeping on a blanket with his name, Koa Amani, inscribed. 

This ethnic name has strong meaning. Here are the details:
