Francisco Lindor News
New York Mets shortstop Francisco Lindor got off to a hot start in 2022, but his production has slowed significantly as the calendar has turned to May. In 46 at-bats this month, Lindor has just six hits. Two have gone for extra bases, including one home run, and he's stolen one base while striking out eleven times. He has a .233/.315/.395 slash line on the season, leaving plenty to be desired, but his five homers and four steals show just how much fantasy potential he still has if he can just find a way on base amidst this slump.
New York Mets shortstop Francisco Lindor has been showing some improved plate discipline so far this year. Last season, he struck out 18.3% of the time, a career-high clip. Through 20 games this year, his strikeout rate is down to 14.6%, which is right around where it typically was during his days in Cleveland. Lindor is off to a nice start to the season overall, slashing .273/.360/.494 with four home runs, five doubles, three stolen bases, 13 RBI and 12 runs. He also has a .297 xBA and a .527 xSLG, suggesting there's some room for growth for him going forward.
New York Mets shortstop Francisco Lindor had a strong day at the plate in the team's 6-2 win over the San Francisco Giants on Thursday. He went 3-for-5 with a home run and two runs scored. He also attempted a steal, but he was thrown out. The 28-year-old is off to a great start to his second season in a Mets jersey. Over 14 games, he's slashing .308/.419/.615 with four home runs, three stolen bases, 10 RBI and 12 runs. After his strikeout rate ballooned up to 18.3% last year, it's been nice to see him only strike out seven times over the first two weeks of the 2022 campaign.

In 2021, New York Mets shortstop Francisco Lindor had, arguably, the worst season of his career. He posted a .230/.322/.412 slash line to go with 20 home runs, 63 RBI, and just 10 stolen bases over 452 at-bats. Perhaps the pressure of playing for a new team, in a new league, coupled with a record-setting $341 million contract placed too much pressure on him. Lindor also dealt with an oblique injury in mid-June which kept him sidelined for over a month just as his bat was beginning to heat up after a poor April and May. Once he returned in late July, Lindor's bat finally got hot toward the end of the 2021 campaign, despite recovering from the lingering oblique injury. In September, Lindor posted a .267/.359/.574 slash line, with nine HR and 25 RBI over 117 plate appearances. Despite poor overall numbers, Lindor boasted solid underlying metrics in 2021. These included a 44.1% hard-hit rate (the highest of his career) and an overall exit velocity of 90.7 mph (the second-highest of his career). He also posted walk and strikeout rates in the top 30% in all of MLB, an xBA of .253, and an EV on FB/LD of 94 mph (tied with Carlos Correa and Marcus Semien). These numbers, combined with his strong 2021 finish, as well as Starling Marte and Brandon Nimmo hitting in front of him in the revamped Mets batting order, all point to positive regression in batting average, slugging percentage, HR, and RBI totals for 2022. A career .278/.343/.821 hitter, Lindor is poised to bounce back and exceed his current ADP of 49 as a top-20, five-category fantasy asset in 2022.
