Cuban baseball player Victor Mesa Jr. is experiencing one of life's most cherished milestones: becoming a father for the first time. On July 11, he and his partner Lily Martin celebrated the birth of their baby.

The joyous news was announced on social media, accompanied by touching pictures of the newborn, named Mason. The couple chose this name, opting not to follow the family tradition of naming him Victor, a name shared by his father, grandfather, and uncle.

In an emotional Instagram post, Mesa Jr. expressed, "How wonderful it is to finally have you with us! We are going to love you dearly, Mason. Thank you, my love, for being the most beautiful and strong woman in the world, I love you." The post featured several photos from the delivery room and intimate moments in the hospital room.

One image shows a beaming Victor Mesa Jr. holding his newborn son for the first time, with Lily Martin smiling from the hospital bed. Another picture captures the young baseball player, mask off and shirtless, tenderly embracing Mason in one of their first skin-to-skin moments, showcasing the joy and love of this new chapter.

Victor Mesa Jr., following in the footsteps of his father and brother in the baseball world, has embarked on his most significant and heartfelt journey yet: fatherhood.
