"The 31-year-old star is coming off a year in which he hit .267/.346/.466 in 160 games with a 129 wRC+ that ranked fifth among qualified shortstops. Lindor hit 31 home runs and scored 117 runs in 2025, which more or less matched his totals from 2024, while slightly cutting his strikeout rate to 17.9% and bumping his walk rate to 8.9%. He also remained a threat on the basepaths, matching his career high with 31 stolen bases."
"Having Lindor ready to go for spring training will be good news for the Mets as they look to rebound from a disappointing season. At one point, the club held the best record in the majors. That momentum did not last, however, as the Mets posted a 38-52 record in their final 90 games and finished 83-79 overall, missing the playoffs thanks to the Reds holding a tiebreaker advantage."
Francisco Lindor underwent minor debridement surgery on his right elbow and is expected to be ready for spring training. He batted .267/.346/.466 across 160 games in 2025 with a 129 wRC+, ranking fifth among qualified shortstops. Lindor hit 31 home runs, scored 117 runs, reduced his strikeout rate to 17.9%, and increased his walk rate to 8.9%. He matched his career high with 31 stolen bases and totaled 6.3 fWAR, fourth among major league shortstops. Defensive metrics were mixed: -1 Defensive Runs Saved and 5 Outs Above Average, while Statcast placed him in the 90th percentile for range. The Mets scored well offensively but faltered late, finishing 83-79 and missing the playoffs amid rotation injuries and uneven pitching.
