“Nothing can prepare you for this."
Patrick Renna is in "awe" after welcoming his third child into the world.
The 46-year-old actor, best known for his role as Ham Porter in “The Sandlot” (1993), welcomed his third child, and first baby girl, with his wife, Jasmin, on July 2.
The couple are already parents to two sons — Flynn, born in 2017, and Liam, born in 2020.

“After three, I’m even more in awe of my wife and all moms out there,” Renna wrote in an Instagram caption alongside photos of the newborn girl, who they named Lily June Renna.
“Mom is good. Baby is good. Brothers are good. Dad is… how much time you got?” he joked.
Lily, which refers to the lily flower, has been a top-100 girls name in the United States every year since 2002 and most recently ranked 24th in 2024, according to the Social Security Administration (SSA).
The name peaked in 2011 when it was the 15th most popular girls name in the U.S., per the SSA.
Renna and his wife announced that they were expecting a third child in an exclusive interview with People, published February 18.
The couple initially thought they were having a boy when they “mistakenly” looked at Liam’s test results from 2020. It wasn’t until their doctor called that they learned they were wrong.
"Finding out we’re having a baby girl was the best surprise, and my wife, our two boys, and I couldn’t be more excited to meet her," Renna told People at the time.
Some of Renna’s former “The Sandlot” castmates congratulated him on the new baby in the comments.
“Congrats on the baby girl!” Marty York, who played third baseman Alan "Yeah-Yeah" McClennan in the 1993 film.
“Congrats !!!” Chauncey Leopardi, who played centerfielder Michael "Squints" Palledorous, added.
Renna, who was the catcher in the film, was best known for his snarky one-liners, such as “You’re killin’ me smalls!” and “You play ball like a giiirrrrrrrrl!”
Renna released his first children’s book in February
Renna’s third baby comes less than four months after he started a new chapter of his life.
The “GLOW” actor released his debut children’s book, “A Little Slugger’s Guide to the Unwritten Rules of Baseball and Life,” on Feb. 25 — one week after revealing his wife’s third pregnancy.
In an interview with People in January, Renna opened up about the inspiration behind the book.
“First of all, for sure having kids — because reading books and finding the right books and the messages and things like that are really important with younger kids,” he said.
Renna further clarified that the topic of the book was inspired by his love for baseball.
“It's amazing how similar it is to life and how, if you have a good head on your shoulders or you have a good outlook on sports, that can transfer over into life,” he explained.
Despite being hesitant to write a book, Renna told People he’s “really glad” he did it.
As for how he would rate himself as a dad, Renna gave himself a modest grade.

“I call myself like a C-plus, B-minus dad,” Renna said with a laugh, per People. “I'm not the worst, but I got some learning to do — that's for sure.”
