Francisco Lindor won’t let any of it affect him.
The Mets’ star shortstop won’t let the abundance of criticism he often receives — undeserved, at times —bother him.7-3 win over the RockiesMets prospect Brandon Sproat open to being late-season bullpen boost: ‘Whatever chance I can get’“That’s a good question because I keep asking myself the same thing,” manager Carlos Mendoza said about Lindor’s lack of recent accolades. “I don’t think people appreciate or recognize what he brings to the baseball field, what he means to this team. Great player.
“Just the joy, the passion, the care, the willingness to continue to get better. He never stops. He’s always looking for ways to improve.”Notoriously a slow starter, Lindor struggled through a brutal April to begin the season and saw his batting average dip as low as .190.Entering Saturday, Lindor hit .296/.366/.517 with a .883 OPS in 49 games at the leadoff spot, and went 1-for-3 with two walks at the plate on Saturday.
“That’s a special player, that’s a special person,” Mendoza said. “I’m just glad that I get to be able to watch him play shortstop for the New York Mets day in and day out.”How Jose Iglesias went from unemployed to an oh-my-god fit with the Mets
