You hit it on the head of the MVP season he was having after enduring a horrible start that actually matched how the entire team played through the month of May. With a strong start he still would have lost out to Ohtani, but the accomplishments would have been closer. It is unfair that his play in the field, something Ohtani did not do, did not carry more weight.

Lindor is the Mets version of Ricky Henderson, with the ability to start a game with the long ball and put the opposition on the defensive right from the start. His stat will also benefit if the Mets eight and nine hitters are more productive given him so many more RBI chances. As Lindor goes, so will the Mets.

650 PA, .270/.350/.450 32 HR, 35 stolen bases, .820 OPS. Should be named Captain.

Lindor hit over .300 in the lead off spot, so he stays there. But, I expect him to take some strategic days off.

157 games

680 PA

.304/.381/.499

25 SB, 25 HR, 137 R, 101 RBI, snubbed from the all star game again and wins a gold glove, World Series MVP

I am feeling bullish on Lindor. I think hitting in front of Soto will result in pitchers being more careful and that he’ll see less breaking stuff. I also think that he’ll hit more often with runners on base because of the longer Mets lineup. So he’ll have a higher BA, fewer walks, and more RBIs.

710 PA, 270/335/495/820, 33 HRs, 31 SBs, 103 RBIs. 40 2Bs, 3 3Bs. All-star, top 5 MVP votes, Gold Glove and Silver Slugger.

His SLG goes up by seeing more pitches in the zone batting ahead of Soto. He's only 32 next year, so no regression. Tack on 40+ doubles

Lindor will see a lot of good pitches to hit in the leadoff spot with Soto hitting behind him.

My predictions: 710 PA, .282/.350/.495, 35 HR

Lindor will have a solid year again. He has a good work ethic and is a leader in the clubhouse. He takes care of himself and I don't see any regression yet.

The Met 360 community was bullish last year concerning Lindor and the projections reflected it. Because of the injury in September Lindor's 618 PA made NYM6986 the winner for his prediction of 600 PA. Brian just missed the BA by one point.A trio of predictors, Steve1962, Paul and NYM6986 had the OBP at 340 (Lindor 344 OBP). No one expected Lindor to have a 500 SLG but Boomboom was the closest at 475 SLG and he also was one homerun away with 34. Steve1962 and Footballhead predicted 32 homeruns also. Lindor crushed 33 homeruns. Metsense is predicting that the winners aren't going to get cash prizes but they may get some accolades.
