New York Mets shortstop Francisco Lindor has another accolade under his belt after being named second team All-MLB.
Francisco Lindor was named to the All-MLB second-team on Thursday night. Lindor slashed .273/.344/.500 with a .844 OPS, 33 home runs, 91 RBI, 107 runs scored and 29 stolen bases. He also played Gold Glove caliber defense at the shortstop position.
Although Lindor is a candidate to win the NL MVP Award, he made second-team All-MLB given that fellow shortstop Bobby Witt Jr. is also a finalist for the AL MVP trophy and was named to the first-team. Witt had a remarkable season for the Kansas City Royals, hitting .332/.389/.588 with 32 homers and 109 RBIs.
In addition to being named a finalist for MVP, Lindor took home the fourth Silver Slugger Award of his career earlier in the week. While a strong argument could be made for Lindor to take home the MVP Award in the NL, Los Angeles Dodgers World Series champion DH Shohei Ohtani put up a historic 50-50 campaign in 2024. For that, Ohtani will likely capture the honor for third time in his career.Pat Ragazzo is the reporter, publisher, site manager and executive editor for Sports Illustrated's Mets and Yankees On SI websites.
