Despite the Mets’ sell-off at the deadline, the offense’s overall poor play since, Francisco Lindor has remained hot at the plate throughout.

Though he snapped his streak of 223 straight games played over the weekend due to right side discomfort, he missed just two games and returned to the lineup the very next day to begin a new streak. Since June 18, Lindor has slashed .297/.394/.547/.841 with a 160 wRC+ and notching 21 extra-base hits in that span. His season OPS the last couple of weeks has hovered around .800—much more in line with his career norms.

Lindor’s offensive success this season was highlighted Monday night when he became the first Met to log 20 home runs and 20 stolen bases in a single season since Carlos Beltrán in 2008. “It’s really cool whenever I get to be next to one of my role models growing up, someone I try to be like,” Lindor said after the game. “It’s special for sure.”

He also became just the ninth Met to ever record a season of 20 homers, 20 stolen bases and 20 doubles, joining names like Beltrán, David Wright, Darryl Strawberry, Tommie Agee, and Howard Johnson.

But Lindor’s success isn’t just in counting stats this year. His 4.5 fWAR is third in all of baseball (and first in the National League), his .220 ISO (raw power metric that only takes extra-base hits into account) is second only to rookie Gunnar Henderson, and his 121 wRC and .356 xwOBA are top five marks among all shortstops. Brandon Nimmo said after the game that Lindor knows “it always takes a long time to have a good season,” and he isn’t affected as much by stretches where he isn’t performing to standards.

His leadership has been present, too. Immediately following the trade deadline, Lindor spoke about how important it was he and other veterans show younger players how to play the game each day—even when the team is struggling. He doubled down on that sentiment Monday.

“As a professional baseball player, I gotta go out there and give it my best, day in and day out,” he said. “I owe it to the fans, I owe it to my teammates, I owe it to this organization, and I owe it to myself.”

“I will give everything I got no matter what.”
