New York Mets superstar shortstop Francisco Lindor could enter rarified air in 2025.

Mets: Francisco Lindor nearing home runs feat

Lindor currently sits at 248 home runs for his career. If he hits 13 more, he could pass one of the greatest players to play the shortstop position next season, as Mets Batflip recently shared:

“Most career home runs by a shortstop: Cal Ripken Jr. (353), Alex Rodriguez (345), Ernie Banks (298), Miguel Tejada (285), Derek Jeter (260), FRANCISCO LINDOR (248),” Mets Batflip published on X.
