4 years agoNew York Mets shortstop Francisco Lindor went 0-for-3 with a walk and two strikeouts in the Mets' 1-0 loss to the Red Sox on Wednesday. Lindor, mired in a season-long slump, is now slashing a .203/.317/.261 line, with just one home run and three RBI over 69 at-bats (19 games) on the season. Lindor has had a brutal start to the 2021 campaign and his tenure with the Mets. Despite the poor results, it should be noted that Lindor has shown improvement in his overall strikeout rate and walk rate when compared to 2020. Additionally, his hard-hit rate of 41% is also consistent with the hard-hit rate he posted in 2019 when he belted 32 HR. Lindor's issue has been a poor barrel rate of 1.6% which equates to one barrel so far in 2021 (presumably his one HR). Lindor should eventually get his bat going, though it is beginning to get late with May quickly approaching. Notwithstanding, the 27-year old shortstop should remain active in all fantasy formats.--Nick Ritrivi - RotoBaller
