Francisco Lindor hit his 300th career double against the Arizona Diamondbacks on Tuesday, helping the New York Mets shortstop carve out his own spot in MLB history.
The New York Mets may not have been able to secure the series over the Arizona Diamondbacks on Wednesday night, but their star shortstop has managed to keep his dark horse MVP campaign alive by blazing another new trail.
The double Lindor hit on Tuesday was the 300th of his career, making him the 23rd active player and 489th player in baseball history to reach the milestone., Lindor is now the only shortstop in MLB history to record 300 doubles, 240 home runs and 175 stolen bases in his first 10 seasons.Through 133 games this season, Lindor is batting .270 with 27 home runs, 78 RBI, 25 stolen bases, an .826 OPS and a 5.8 WAR. Taking out his brutal 1-for-31 start to the campaign, he is batting .284 with an .
Considering he currently ranks third in WAR in the NL, Lindor should earn MVP votes yet again in 2024. NL WAR-leader Shohei Ohtani doesn't play defense, while second-ranked Ketel Marte is likely to stay on the injured list for another week, clearing a path for Lindor to seriously contend for the honor.
