New York Mets shortstop Francisco Lindor has been named a finalist for the National League MVP.
After a rough start to the season, Lindor was one of the men responsible for the Mets major turnaround which ended with a NLCS appearance, which is the farthest the Mets have gone since the 2015 World Series appearance.
Lindor this season had a batting average of .273, 33 home runs, and 91 rbi’s. Lindor also produced many clutch moment’s throughout the season, most notably a two-run homer in the ninth against the Atlanta Braves to clinch the Wild Card.
The NL MVP Finalists are Francisco Lindor, Ketel Marte, and Shohei Ohtani.
Despite missing the postseason, Marte put up a .292 batting average, 36 home runs, and 95 rbi’s. Ohtani, a former two-time AL MVP, had a historic season with being the first player to hit 50 home runs and 50 stolen bases. Ohtani had a .310 batting average, 54 home runs, and 130 rbi’s
The question to ask is who will walk out with the NL MVP.
