Lindor Vows to Return to Form After Challenging Mets Season

New York Mets shortstop Francisco Lindor is committed to improving next season, acknowledging that his performance in the recently concluded year cannot be his standard. Lindor battled at least three significant physical issues over the past year, which he believes may have contributed to his statistically worst season as a Major League Baseball player.

Asked about his confidence in reverting to his previous form, Lindor expressed a clear sense of necessity. “I have no other option,” he told The Post. “I have to go back to being a plus player at shortstop. Not only defensively, but running and hitting.”

Lindor's confidence is rooted in his determination to overcome the challenges he faced. The former All-Star recorded a career-low .731 OPS during the season, a figure he aims to significantly improve upon. His focus extends beyond offensive production to encompass his defensive capabilities and overall athleticism on the field.
