In the Mets’ May 5 win over the Diamondbacks, Francisco Lindor went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run. It marked his second game in the last three with three RBIs. Arizona rallied for three runs in the eighth but couldn’t complete the comeback. Lindor’s home run in the seventh gave the Mets key insurance en route to a 5-4 victory.
Through 35 games, Lindor is batting .289 with an .830 OPS. He’s hit seven home runs, stolen three bases, and logged 22 RBIs and 23 runs scored. He’s 11-for-41 (.268) with three extra-base hits and eight RBIs while hitting safely in eight of his last 10 games.
And no matter how he performs on the diamond, he stays connected with his family off the diamond.
Katia Lindor Stays Connected to Her Husband Despite the Time Difference
While Lindor delivered on the field, his wife, Katia Lindor, was home with their newborn, still showing her support. Despite the time difference, she posted on her Instagram story that she watches every Mets game.
Her caption read: “Yes, even with a time difference and a newborn, I watch all the games.”
In a recent joint Instagram post, the couple announced the birth of their son, Koa. He joins older sisters Kalina Zoé and Amapola Chloé.
Just one day after Katia gave birth, Francisco was in the lineup for the Mets’ series opener against the Marlins at LoanDepot Park.
Francisco could’ve missed Monday’s game — and up to three games total — if he had gone on paternity leave, but the Mets didn’t place him on the list. Instead, Lindor left the decision to start up to manager Carlos Mendoza.
Katia has long been his biggest supporter on and off the field. They were married on Dec. 16, 2021, at Vizcaya Museum and Gardens in Miami. Kalina walked down the aisle with her dad during the ceremony before the couple exchanged personal vows.
In addition to being a full-time mom, Katia is also a podcast host. Her show, “The Un-a-Parent,” launched in August 2022 and explores “the unapparent truths of parenting,” according to its Instagram page.
Guests have included Lindor, former Miss Universe Puerto Rico Mariana Vicente, and mental health professionals, among others.
“I’m doing this podcast as much for myself as for others,” Katia said in her first episode. “I needed a creative, intellectual, stimulating outlet, and it stemmed from a desire to start conversations that I felt I might have needed back when I was pregnant and becoming a parent, and the first few months that were just so overwhelming.”
